Fly your drone at a constant altitude and at several forward speeds, recording rotor rotation rate,
trimmed pitch angle and power, to compute lift, drag, L/D, and the power as a function of speed. Plot the relevant quantities

Figure 1. 1 .1 Remote control with speed control.
As seen in Figure 1.1.1, we designed and laser cut a duron device to allow the joystick to move forward and hold steady at even increments as an estimate for controlling the drone at different velocities.
