Flight TimeFormula
Time (min) ≈ (capacity mAh × 0.8) ÷ avg draw A
LiPo SafetyStandard
Never charge unattended; storage voltage 3.8V per cell.
Sim Hours First
Log simulator time before flying expensive race quads — muscle memory prevents crashes.
Battery Discipline
Land at 3.6V per cell — over-discharging LiPo permanently damages packs.
Prop Safety
Remove props when working on bench and never arm near spectators.
Safety Notes
- Use prop guards in practice and never fly near spectators without netting.
- Charge LiPo batteries in fireproof bags and never leave unattended.
