Still, at least the controller lasts a lot longer between expenses, so plugging it in immediately after a handful of flights should preserve it topped up. Both controller and drone battery hook up to the exact same energy adapter, and each are totally charged within an hour.

Simultaneously hold the LEFT joystick to the reduced-Ideal even though holding the Proper joystick to the decrease LEFT. The two joysticks must be pointing down and towards every other. The Phantom's motors will then commence and you can let the joysticks return to their center positions. Gently electrical power up the motors for get-off and you're flying! To stop the motors, hold the left joystick all the way to the bottom.
