unusual wears, or unforeseen danger may happen. Make sure to
double check all APP parameter setting before flying. Incorrect settings will result in unexpected and
unpredictable safety danger.
每趟飛行前須仔細檢查機身各部位之零/配件/電子設備性能是否正常，及無損耗老化現象，並確實將螺絲鎖緊才能
升空飛行。做好定期檢修，避免零件或電子產品異常所造成不可預期的意外。飛行前務必確認 APP 內所設定的參
數是否正確，不正確的設定將會影響飛行狀態的安全，嚴重將導致不可預期的危險。
