Flag Test
Don’t fly in winds
that lift the flag
more than this.
Follow these guidelines -you’ll be glad you did
On your first flights, wait for winds less than 5
mph -use the flag test. After plenty of experi-
ence, you’ll be able to safely fly in winds up to
15 mph.
COLD WEATHER TIP:
The battery will not pro-
vide enough power to fly near freezing tempera-
tures. For best performance, warm a cold battery
to 60F prior to flight.
