Pre-flight Check
1. Make sure the compass is properly calibrated. If Compass is not properly calibrated, Quadcopter will fly in slow circles
(Toilet bowl movement) and or will drift in different directions.
2.Check and make sure propellers are mounted as per right CW and CCW spinning directions. You can match the
propeller and arms rotation signs that are embossed on propellers and Quadcopter arms too.
3. Check the motors are spinning smooth. Make sure there is no play and or they are not lose on each arm
4. Use only 3S (11.1v) lithium Polymer battery. Do not use a higher voltage battery (like 4S 14.8v)
5. Use supplied 9inch Propellers only. Using aftermarket parts and or propellers is not recommended.
6. Aircraft takeoff gross weight is not over its limits
7. Ensure that the remote control , batteries and all components have adequate power supply .
8. Do not go near or in contact with the high-speed rotation of the propeller, try to keep a safe distance from the aircraft
during flight in case of loss of control. The rotors spin very quickly and will cause injury and damage if they come into
contact with anything.
9. If the lights on arms are continuously flashing during the flight, this indicates low voltage. Please land asap and replace
With fully charged batteries or re-charge.
Where to Fly (Flight Safety Tips)
1. Make sure to find a clear open area to fly. The area should not have magnetic interference. Do not use other devices
that cause magnetic interference like Mobile phones, other transmission equipment, speakers, cameras with lots of noise
and interference etc. Some Buildings, bridges and or stadium areas have a lot of steel and metal used in their
constructions, this all can affect transmission.
2. Do not fly in bad weather. Though FreeX uses waterproof motors and ESCs we still suggest not flying during rain,
foggy days or extreme humid days.
3. FreeX can handle a decent amount of winds from 5mph to 15mph but still we suggest not flying during very windy
and gusty days.
4. When flying, keep away from high power lines, power poles, road lamp posts, transmission towers, and high voltage
lines. In addition keep clear from people, water and trees and property.
5. Make sure to fly in area where there aren't any WIFI devices in use, other electronic devices, cellphone towers, high
power radio communication buildings and tower and or mobile communication stations.
6.
Do not use GoPro’s WIFI feature when flying with GoPro.
7. FreeX Quadcopter will not function properly in Arctic circle / area and or north pole
8. Make sure not to land too hard. Always control and learn to do mild landings.
