Flight properties

calm). In GPS mode, the drone has an inherent smoothness. But, everything changes when you turn off the GPS and switch to the "Manual" mode. The quad comes to life noticeably and shows good flight characteristics.

  • You should not expect racing performance from it, only beginners will fully appreciate it.
  • If the throttle stick is set to zero in Manual mode, the quadcopter motors will not be turned off.
  • Calibration must be performed before each flight.

All functions and modes (Headless / Follow me / Manual mode / Function "Return to the remote control" / Function "Altitude hold") worked flawlessly. In practice, the flight range at an altitude of 100 meters was 270 meters (in field conditions). Further, up to 300 meters, the quad was controlled, but with a short-term, multiple loss of communication and with a noticeable deterioration in the response to movement with the sticks.

To increase the FPV flight range, you can bring the antennas (2.4GHz / 5.8GHz) built into the body of the remote control outside.
