Builders guide – FlightClub PROton (Witchcraft) 

Safety First 

Please build, fly and configure your drone safely. Moving propellers and mishandled 
lithium batteries can cause serious damage to person and property. It is your 
responsibility to operate safely when flying and handling your ‘drone’!
