Or manually fly the drone back to you by pulling the right joystick down towards 
you. You may need to add in some left or right to fly in the correct direction if the 
drone has yawed.

You can also use the App to RTL. Click on the flight mode icon (top middle left) and select 
RTL and press OK.

The drone will not automatically descend

Pull the throttle down (lefthand joystick)

This will instruct the drone to descend and land.

You can also use the App to land. Click the Land icon (bottom left) and this will instruct the 
drone to descend and land at its current location.

If this doesn’t work, change flight mode from Loiter to POS.

Pull the throttle down (lefthand joystick)

This will instruct the drone to descend and land.

You lose sight or orientation of the drone

Don’t panic

Centre the joysticks to bring the drone into a hover.

Press button A and check it becomes backlit.

The drone should automatically begin its return journey back to you.

Practice 6

Repeat practice 5, but fly out to 500 or more metres.
The App will display the distance from home.

Practice 7

Do a flight with a load under the drone.
Tie a line onto a one litre milk bottle fill of water and connect to the release line. Have the bottle 
on a line two or three metres long. This will help to reduce the pendulum effect.
After flying with a small 1kg payload you can try a 2kg payload to see the difference.
The EX-2 will fly for five or more minutes with a 2kg payload.

Practice 8

Seahorse recommends doing a practice flight with your fishing gear to ensure everything works 
how you are expecting it to work.
This is best with a second person watching your reel so they can warn the pilot of any issues.
The pilot should have their finger on the release button B ready to release if there is an issue.
Seahorse recommends fly out slowly to ensure the fishing reel, line, hooks and traces are operating
as expected.

Practice 9

The App allows you to create a mission. If you are thinking of fishing this way, now would be a 
good time to practice creating a mission and flying it. Keep it short and simple (launch, waypoint 
and RTL), thus reducing the chance of an error.
