How to fly
On a phone, the phone is your body. Tip the top away from you and your weight goes forward;
tip it toward you and the nose comes up. Drop a rail and that is your lean. Only the direction of gravity is read,
so where you hold the phone does not matter — only how far it is tilted from the pose you calibrated.
With a destination set, tap the plate at the bottom right to let go of the board, and again
to take it back.
On a computer, the mouse is your body. Where the pointer sits in the view is where your weight is — centre
is neutral, push it away and your weight goes forward and the nose drops; pull it toward you and the nose
comes up. Left and right are your rails. Click to take the board, click again to let go.
The plate at the bottom right is the autopilot. Until you have somewhere to be it reads
SET DESTINATION, and tapping it opens the list. Pick somewhere and it reads TO, with the distance left and the
time the passage is going to take, and the board is already flying itself — your lean is suspended until you
take it back. Lit amber, the autopilot has the board; unlit, you do. It wants Reflex at Medium or High; with
Reflex off there is nothing to hand the board to. The landmark you are closest to is written under the chart.
The horizon is your instrument. Its tilt is the bank you're actually carrying — level
horizon, no bank. Dry mast above the waterline is your fly height; wet mast below it is how much wing you
have left. It will not hold itself: standing still is not a stable regime, fidgeting is.
Throttle is geared. The rail on the right picks a gear, 0 to 6; scroll or arrow keys
move it. The remote's real ladder is twenty-one notches (0 to 20), three to a gear, and the readout under the rail is the
notch you are actually on. Your own pitch feathers it one notch either way, the way your thumb would —
gently near neutral, the whole notch at full lean.
