FAQ

Do I need special training to fly a drone?

No, you don’t have to learn any special skills in order for your drone to fly. You only need a remote controller unit and basic knowledge about flight mechanics.

What US states have drones made legal?

Legally, you can operate a drone to perform hobby tasks. The Federal Aviation Administration has created guidelines to allow small unmanned aircraft system (UAS) use. Before they can be flown, these UASs need to be registered with FAA. These UASs can also be flown by commercial operators if they are allowed to fly under certain conditions.

What is the difference in a quadcopter from a hexacopter.

A quadcopter is a four-rotor helicopter that flies like a traditional helicopter. It has four rotors that rotate independently. The hexacopter can be described as a quadcopter but has six rotors, instead of the usual four. Hexacopters have more stability and maneuverability than quadcopters.

Is it possible to fly a helicopter while driving?

Drone flying at high speed is dangerous. You also risk hitting pedestrians or other animals. In addition, you could damage your car by hitting power lines, trees, or buildings.

How To

How do I clean my drones?

The tips below are some things you should know before cleaning your drone. This guide will help you make sure that you get the most out of your drone.

1. You need the right tools. Be sure to have everything you require before you begin any task. A soft toothbrush (or a toothbrush), and a cleaning solution (we recommend using WD40).
2. Disconnect the battery pack. First, remove the battery pack from your drone's bottom. It's easy to locate the battery underneath the propeller. Ensure that you don't lose any screws when removing the propeller.
3. You will need to remove all parts. Next, remove everything from the drone's lower side. Make sure they're not loose or damaged as they might fall off during cleaning.
4. Use a cleaning product. Now it's time for your drone to be cleaned. Before doing so, we recommend using a cleaning solution such as WD40. Spray the entire drone with the cleaner. Make sure to get between every component. Leave it to dry completely before putting everything back together.
5. Install the battery. The battery should be reattached after cleaning the drone. By doing this, you can test how well your drone functions after cleaning.
