    When you are using the battery, its voltage will drop. This is referred to as “sag”. After you land, the battery will recover a small amount and its voltage will rise. Our recommendation is that, the battery P a g e | 28 KOPIS CineWhoop...
  • Page 31 The mAh put back in by the battery will seldom perfectly match the mAh reported by the OSD, but by taking several measurements and averaging the results, you can usually get it reasonably close. P a g e | 29 KOPIS CineWhoop...

  • Page 32: Install The Props

    Notice that the high edge of the prop blade faces the center-line of the quad on the front and back of the quad. This is the simplest way to remember how to install the props correctly. P a g e | 30 KOPIS CineWhoop...

    Transmitting at higher output powers increases the likelihood of interference. 25 mW is more than enough power for good range most of the time. Above 200 mW, the likelihood of interference significantly increases. Of course, if you’re flying alone, use as much power as you like! P a g e | 36 KOPIS CineWhoop...

    If you watch old-timers who have been doing this forever, you may even see them carry their transmitters with their finger resting on the arm switch, holding it in the disarmed position. This is a great habit to develop. P a g e | 37 KOPIS CineWhoop...
