    Learning to crash a new kind of flying machine

    As already pointed out your maximum flight height above ground level is 400 feet (121 m) in the Uk. And VLOS only or 500m. Also noted you are from London and that has massive restrictions due to the volume of air traffic so please get some local advice of Safe Flying to prevent any bad press on...

I was considering turning off the low voltage actions and leaving the warning lights only active. Then fly with a full set of batteries for 4 mins. Land and check...
