Flight Flight Environment Requirements 1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10m/s, snow, rain, and smog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on- board compass and GPS signal.
Calibrating the Compass Make sure you calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. ...

3. Hold the aircraft vertically with nose pointing downward, and rotate is 360 degrees around the center axis. Recalibrate the compass if the Aircraft Status Indicator shows solid red. If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration, move your aircraft to a different location to carry out compass calibration.
Starting/Stopping the Motors Starting Motors The Combination Stick Command (CSC) listed below are used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the stick up. Ensure that you perform the CSC in one motion. Stopping Motors There are two methods to stop the motors. Method 1: When the Inspire has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC.
