4 Operating Procedures
This section covers the complete procedures for flying Solo, including preflight checks, manual control, automatic
recall, and Smart Shots.
4.1 Preflight Checklist
Before flying, check the following operating conditions.
Location
-Current location and environmental conditions are suitable for flight. (See page 18 for safe flight guidelines.)
-Solo is placed at a clear launch point, facing away from you. (See page 18 for home position instructions.)
Components
-The propellers are correctly attached. (See page 14 for propeller installation instructions.)
-The propellers can spin smoothly and without obstruction when turned.
-No components on Solo appear loose or damaged.
Power
-The controller is powered on with at least 50% charge. (See page 13 for controller setup instructions.)
-Solo is powered on with the fully charged battery. (See page 11 for battery setup instructions.)
-The camera is attached, powered on and recording. (See page 15 for camera setup instructions.)
-Your phone or tablet is attached to the controller with the Solo app on and streaming video.

4.2 Takeoff
There are two options for taking off: manual and automatic. We recommend using automatic takeoff to begin the
flight.
Start Motors
When you’re ready to fly, the controller will prompts you to hold the fly button to start Solo’s motors. Hold fly until
the propellers spin. Solo is now active, ready for takeoff, and needs to be treated with appropriate caution to avoid
safety hazards.
