STEM: Teacher/Home Educator: Keeping it on the Level - Using flight stabilization throughout the scope and sequence of FT STEM

For teachers, parents and educators.

Crashes can be instructive learning experiences. However, the FT STEM team thinks that they are about the worst thing that could happen to a new pilot or even an experienced one who spent countless hours on a new build. Join the FT STEM team as we take the mystery out of flight stabilization by exploring these questions: What is flight stabilization? Why do you need it? What role does it have in FT STEM both now and in the future? How difficult is it, really, to get an FT Aura 5 Lite working in a Tiny Trainer?
