The ground effect 

When the copter is flying close to the ground (less than a few decimeters above the ground) 
it is affected by what is called the ground effect. The feeling is that the air is slippery, almost 
as if it is gliding on ice. To avoid this, particularly when learning to fly, use a lot of thrust just 
when taking off and then ease off for level flight. 
 

Charging the battery 

To charge the battery of the Crazyflie 2.1, just plug in a micro USB cable. Make sure the 
Crazyflie is powered on. While the battery is charging, the back left blue LED will blink. 
When the LED is fully lit the battery is charged.
