Page 20: Flying Outdoors
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. - Page 21 REPLACEMENT PARTS Thank you for your purchase of Protocol’s Aero 2.0 R/C Drone.
