

2. NeverchargeaLipounattended,fireriskisaveryrealdanger,especiallywith



4. StoreLiposinasafeenvironment,rememberingtheycanbeafirehazard.

tomonitorthecapacitydrain.Neverdrainmorethan80%ofyourbatteries

Tips&Tricks



Whenyoufirststartoutyou’llfindthecontrolstobeveryconfusing.Thistakestimeto

reallygetusedtoandtothepointwhereyoudon’thavetothinkaboutit.We

recommenddownloadingadroneracingsimulatorandusingyourradiowiththatto

getusedtothecontrolswithoutcrashinganddamagingyourdroneallthetime.Once

youhavemusclememory,movetoflyingtherealthing.



Learntoflylowtothegroundandoverasurfacelikelonggrassorsoftground.

Althoughthedronesaretoughandbuilttobestrongathighspeeds.Learningover

grassorsoftgroundwillhelptominimizedamageandprolongthelifeofyourdrone

whileyourlearn.Onceyouarecomfortablewithflyingthenbyallmeanstryflying

throughtreesanddoingalltheriskystuff.



Alwaysdisarmthedronewhenyouthinkyouareintroubleandletitfallfromthesky.

Tryingtoregaincontrolissomethingyoushouldnotattemptwhilestilllearning.9

timesoutof10youwillmakethesituationworsetryingtorecoverandcoulddamage

propertyorputpeopleatrisk.



Bemindfulofthepropellerswheneveryouhandlethedroneandhaveabattery

pluggedin.Spinningpropellerscancauseseriousharm.

Makesureyourgogglesandvideotransmitteraresettomatchingchannelsbefore

flight.Thiswillensureyougetthebestvideoreceptionwhileflying.

Ensureyoucomplywiththerulesgoverningtheuseofdronesinyourcountry.



Disarmassoonasyouknowyouareabouttocrashorhavecrashed.Disarming

earlypreventsdamagetothemotorsandprops.Andcanhelppreservethedrones
