The AeroDrone features three speed modes. Choose the speed based on flight experience and level of comfort. At high speed the drone will pitch more than at low speed. AeroDrone is quite fast at its high speed and requires more piloting skills to fly competently. For safety take time to develop advanced skills by practicing at low speed first.

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 turn off the engines if the radio signal is lost. It is important to know and test the range of your drone before flying.
