* Allow 15 minutes to pass between full flights as this will give the motors a
chance to cool down. Failure to do so could wear out and shorten the life
of the motors.

FLYING OUTDOORS

HOW TO PREVENT FLY AWAYS
To prevent "fly-away" situations (where drones seem to fly away out of
control) it is important to first test and practice within close range before
letting the drone fly too far away.
Each drone is designed to land if the radio signal is lost. It is important
to know and test the range of your drone before flying. (But, this should
not be considered a landing procedure or normal flight practice.) We
recommend turning on and syncing the drone and walking away while
testing the engines. Keep walking and testing until it is obvious when
you reach the point where the signal is not controlling the drone. This will
be the control limit for the conditions in which you are flying. Distance
does vary somewhat based on environmental and weather conditions,
so testing the limit is advised. Fly in a range that is good for easy visual
operation of the drone.
IF YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR DRONE, THEN YOU CAN'T CONTROL
YOUR DRONE.
Fly-aways are not covered by warranty as they are overwhelmingly
caused by pilot error.
