BAIT LIFT GUIDE 

 

 

 

Use this test to CHECK your knowledge and competence. 

This is a true / false test. If you have any incorrect answers, please read the manual or call your dealer for 
help.  

1.

 

When planning your 

rst 

ight at home, it is best to take-

off

 in the driveway so that you are 

close to the house so as not to disturb the neighbours? 

2.

 

When connecting the power to the drone, it is important to point the drone in the required 
direction, so 

that the drone “knows” which way is

 north? 

3.

 

When doing the compass calibration, it is important to have your cell-phone in your pocket in-
case you have to call someone for help? 

4.

 

When trying to Take-

Off,

 it is best to try and hover slightly above the ground so that the 

drone can calculate the return point? 

5.

 

It is not necessary to check the battery charge since the drone has low battery protection. 

6.

 

When learning to 

y the Cuta-Copter, it is important to hover over the take-

off point for

 safety? 

7.

 

It is best to charge your batteries overnight, so that they are ready in the morning? 

8.

 

If something goes wrong on 

ight 61, it must be a manufacture fault since the previous 60 

ights were ok? 

9.

 

My drone does not require a service check each 6 months as it is a high-tech product and 
the electronics will protect it from any issues? 

10.

 

It is important to stop the motors in the same way as starting them when the drone is a few mm 
above the ground so that you can have a safe  landing? 

11.

 

It is best to always fly the bait out at high speed so as to save on battery power?

 

12.

 

It is important to check the battery connection to the drone to make sure that the drone does not 
lose power during 

ight? 

13.

 

The motors are water-proof so it is not necessary to maintain them after a day of 

ying. 

14.

 

When flying at a park, always use the shade of a tree to start t

he drone up and take-

off, so that 

the sun is not in your eyes? 

15.

 

If my drone crashes while I try to land it, there must be something wrong with the Auto-pilot? 

16.

 

User error is the leading cause of drones  crashing? 

17.

 

Due to the sensitive and high-tech electronic, it is best to look after the equipment by cleaning it 
regularly  and making sure that sand does not get into the control unit?
