Flying Tips & Features

Tips for Safe Operation

•  It is recommended to only fly in large, open spaces that are free of obstacles like 

power lines, trees, ceiling fans, etc.

•  When flying indoors, avoid walls and ceilings, as the craft will be drawn towards 

them if closer than 2 to 3 feet.

•  Stand behind the craft when first taking off, so that you and the craft are facing 

the same “forward” direction. This will make it easier to know which direction 
the unit is flying. 

•  Remember that the white propellers and white LED navigation lights indicate 

the front of the craft.

•  Novice pilots should move the controls slowly and deliberately to get used to the 

craft’s flying characteristics. Try using one control at a time. 

•  Practice basic flight operations like take off, hovering, and landing.
•  If you crash, throttle down the engines IMMEDIATELY to reduce the chance of 

damage or injury. 

See Auto-Hover information on pg. 5 for details.

•  If anything obstructs the propellers for any reason, throttle down IMMEDIATELY 

and safely clear the obstruction. Check for possible damage before flying again. 

See Auto-Hover information on pg. 5 for details.
