Flight Tips
This mini drone is primarily designed for indoor use. While it can be flown outdoors, ensure there is no wind, as its lightweight design makes it susceptible to being carried away. Always maintain line of sight with the drone.
Maintenance
Propeller Replacement
If a propeller is damaged, use the provided propeller spanner to carefully remove it. Replace with a new spare propeller, ensuring it is securely attached. The drone comes with 4 spare propellers.
Cleaning
Wipe the drone gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning agents that could damage electronic components.
Battery Care
Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not overcharge or over-discharge batteries. Disconnect batteries from the drone when not in use for extended periods.
