Tips  

Vibration can cause screws to work loose. Check for and tighten loose 
screws as part of your regular maintenance schedule. A liquid thread lock 
is very effective at combating this.  

Never fly with a damaged propellor.  

Get above ground effect. Above about 1metre you will find it much easier 
to control.  

Dont be shy to give it enough throttle to get above ground effect. From 
then on all very small control stick movements.  

We recommend not starting in Simple mode. Begin your flying in the basic 
Stabilize mode. 

Arducopter establishes its home position at the time of arming, so arm 
your copter in the location you wish to designate as the home position.
