I flew my P3S yesterday intentionally with just one hand to see what it was like. In my case, just my right hand with the remote hanging from my neck with the lanyard. Indeed, it is a bit tricky. Took a little practice keeping the remote steady with just one hand. Might work better with a longer lanyard for a lower arm position. I could manipulate both sticks with one hand with thumb on the left stick and next to little finger on the right stick. After a few minutes, I was learning to make fairly smooth flight maneuvers. Dropping altitude with left stick while moving forward with right stick was the trickiest for me. Panning, flying forward at same or increasing altitude wasn't too bad. Thank goodness for the hover feature with no stick action (in GPS mode). Allows one to regain your composure quickly when you get confused and send it in wrong direction. My only thought is if some way to make the stick handles thicker with a foam rubber wrap or something so the control surfaces are closer together. My hand was getting a bit sore by the end of the flight. Regardless, I do hope you find a solution and some practice with different techniques to your satisfaction. They're fun to fly and take photos/videos ... and a great activity to spend time with your son. My best regards. |
