3. Place the drone on a flat open surface or on the surface of the water.
4. Wait for the FPV screen to display the camera's live video and the OSD flight data. Check that the flight
display is normal.
5. Check the following flight data:
Battery voltage > 12.5volts
Satellites > 9
Compass indicates the drone’s current compass direction.
6. For safety, you should stand upwind and to the side of the drone and at least 3 metres distant.
7. Arm the motors in GPS mode.
8. Push the THROTTLE joystick up slowly, allowing the drone to take off smoothly. Release the throttle when
the drone is approximatley 1.5m high. Allow the drone to hover for a moment to ensure flight stability.
9. Always use gradual, smooth joystick movements.
10. When you need to descend, slowly pull down the throttle joystick allowing the drone to descend and
land on a flat surface or on the water.
11. After safely landing, keep the throttle down in its lowest position for at least 5 seconds until the motors
have stopped or use the disarm joystick command.
12. Stop recording video before powering off the drone, followed by its remote controller.
1. When taking off from choppy water, ascend quickly from the surface to prevent the drone being affected
by a passing wave.
2. When landing on water, descend vertically to the surface. If the drone lands with horizontal speed, it is
possible the drone can flip and be inverted. The flight controller will shut down the motors if the drone
becomes inverted.
Do not leave the drone floating inverted for more than a few minutes.
Flip the drone using the Power-Flip command or recover the drone as soon
as possible to avoid water entering the drone.
Water Take-os and Landings
If the drone becomes inverted on the surface of the water, using the Power-Flip feature, the drone can be
flipped so that it is right-side up.
Power-Flip
With the drone floating upside-down, arm (unlock) the Spry and it will perform a powerflip and right itself
on the water.
When taking off from a boat there needs to be sufficient space, otherwise the drone should be placed on the
water for take-off. Likewise, it is safer and easier to land the Spry on the water beside the boat rather than
landing on a rocking boat or where there is insufficient space for a safe landing.
