Best practices

The gFlight is best used indoors (sun interference outside).

The gFlight needs to be lined up properly (sensors facing each other) to get the
best range. 24” to 36” depending on ambient light.

The gFlight metrics will be best if landings are takeoffs are controlled.

The gFlight does not save data.

The gFlight needs 6AA batteries, 3 in each side to function.

The gFlight’s sensors need to be free of obstructions.
