Blades

The Hoverbike Drone uses carbon fibre propeller blades which are incredibly 
strong. Even when they spin at low speeds they are fast and sharp enough to 
lose a finger.

Where to fly

Always fly outside and in an open area, and in line of sight with your drone.  

Flying over or near people and animals

Where possible, do not to fly over or close to people or property.  Although the 
hoverbike Drone is comparatively light to other drones of similar lift and size, it 
still weighs over 3kg when fully equipped for flight and can weigh up to 6kg!  This 
can be a very dangerous object when either falling controlled or uncontrolled 
from the air.  Although malloy Aeronautics has tried to engineer a highly reliable 
system, there is always the chance that something could go wrong.  
Children and animals have a fascination for drones of all types so keep landing 
and takeoff areas well clear. Ensure at all time you have somewhere safe to land 
in an emergency. please check your local aviation regulations related to drones 
and/or RC helicopters.

Please: 

 Always fly your Hoverbike Drone with the thought in the back of your 

mind that something may happen, and buffer yourself and your surroundings 
accordingly.
 

Environmental

wind speed and gusting is always a problem for drones and this hoverbike 
Drone is no exception.  if you are unsure about the conditions it is best not to 
fly.  Work gradually up in experience with different wind speeds and gusting so 
that you are confident in all conditions.
gpS satellites are not always in line of sight or atmospheric conditions may be 
such that your drone cannot lock onto sufficient GPS satellites before or during 
flight.  Be ready to assume manual control if your drone loses GPS lock (by de-
fault it is set to land if GPS lock is lost while in a flight mode that uses it, and will 
start to descend down onto whatever objects or surface is below).
