Practice 

Please practice with your drone for at least 4 battery flights before fishing and 

complete the 

flight log sheet

.  Total flying hours are automatically recorded on the flight control system. 

Do not change parameters without knowing what they will do. Use caution when using the 

phone APP so as not to upload incorrect parameters. 

It has been shown that users who look after their drone, clean it regularly and do the 

required checks, will have a very successful experience. Drones are not 100% reliable. Not 

any type. Users are encouraged to UP-SKILL by learning to pilot the craft in NON-GPS mode 

like ALT hold mode. 

NOTE : We suggest a flying altitude of 25M. When Flying the bait out, the drone can lose 

some altitude and then level off.  Please use the left stick and push it up to add power and 

assist the drone to maintain altitude. DO NOT fly out a bait at excessive speed. 

 

Maintenance 

Drones require regular on-board electronic maintenance and frame and motor care. 

1.

 

Accelerometer and GYRO calibration can be done wirelessly from the phone APP. 

This feature means that you do not need to connect to a PC to perform this 

maintenance.  6 Axis ACC calibration should be done at least every 4-8 weeks for 

regular drone users, or if any warning messages are received from APP. 

See video 6 

 Wireless ACC calibration 

2.

 

Compass calibration should be done when changing locations by 60km or if you 

notice that the drone is hovering in a circle, (Toilet Bowl) 

3.

 

Corrosion treatment. Use WD40 or other good anti-corrosion spray (plastic friendly 

type) on the motors. 

4.

 

Blow motors out with compressed air if sand is ingested. 

5.

 

Treat all battery terminals, switch and on drone with anti-corrosion spray.
