Note: While the -in-1 control unit main motor and tail motor ESCs are readily capable of handling
all in-flight power loads, and even brief momentary bursts beyond these typical loads, they can be
damaged if excessive amounts of current are pulled through them for an extended period of time.
This period of time may vary depending on conditions, so it is best to keep any momentary overloads
as short as possible in order to prevent damage to the -in-1 ESCs.
In the event of a crash, regardless of how minor or major, you MUST throttle back both the main and
tail motors as quickly as possible. If a crash occurs when flying in Normal Mode (with the throttle
trim increased any amount beyond the lowest setting), you will need to lower the throttle/collective
stick AND throttle/collective trim immediately to prevent damage to the ESCs. If a crash occurs when
flying in the Idle Up flight mode, you will need to switch back to Normal Mode while also lowering the
throttle/collective stick and trim immediately to prevent damage to the ESCs.
