Problem Possible Solutions
Drone won’t
take off.
The drone is too heavy. The maximum weight the drone can lift
is between 65 and 75 grams. The drone with the battery in its
lightest configuration is about 50 grams.
The props are flipped. If the A and B props are on the wrong
motors, they will push down instead of up, preventing the drone
from taking off.
The battery is too low. When the battery is critically low, the drone
will land automatically and will not take off.
Drone flips over
on the ground
when taking off.
Two of the props are not on the correct motors. The A and B props
must be on the correct motors; if two are correct and two are
incorrect, the drone will flip over during takeoff.
Drone flies
erratically or
spins after
taking off.
The motors might not be aligned correctly. If one or more motors
are not aligned in the same plane as the others, the drone will fly
erratically; drift left, right, forward, or backward; or fly in circles
after takeoff. This can also happen if one or more drone arms are
damaged or bent. This will require replacing the damaged drone
arm to fix.
Drone drifts
toward one of
the motors.
This usually indicates that one of the arms of the drone is a
different length than the others. You should ensure all the drone
arms are the same length. This can also happen if one of the drone
motors is damaged and not spinning as fast as the other motors.
The only solution to this is replacing the motor.
