CAUTION: To avoid loss of control: ALWAYS move the TX sticks S-L-O-W-L-Y! Be aware
that control inputs will reduce available lift . Be ready to use a little extra throttle to
maintain height during maneuvers.

2. When flying indoors or outdoors allow for plenty of free space with no couches, tables,
trees buildings or other objects that you might fly into. A large area with soft grass is a
perfect outdoor area to learn to fly. An asphalt parking lot is a terrible place to learn to fly.
It is recommended that you use a safety spotter for your FPV flights!
3. First learn to master hovering, then master flying a square or rectangular pattern by
recognizing features that are picked out before you begin your FPV flight.
4. The X4 prop guard is excellent to use indoors if required for your personal skill level, but
using outside is optional and less desirable in many cases. Most fliers will want to remove it
in order to gain some flight performance. The reason is that any wind when using the prop
guard will make it more difficult to fly especially during FPV. Despite the safety feature and
protection when using some kind of prop guard, all multi-copters lose flight performance
when prop guards are used and will perform much better without them. You should also
adjust your rates a bit higher for outdoor flight to something like 70 for pitch and roll. The
X4 default expert rate settings will be too high for most new fliers and even skilled fliers for
FPV. So as a suggestion for practice just increase the beginner values to about 70 when
you are ready for outdoor FPV flying.
