The stunning landscapes shot from Ruko drones have drawn a large number of people to start their journey of flying a drone. However, sometimes the instability of drone flight becomes a deterrent for drone pilots, especially drone beginners, to fly a drone. In this blog, let’s peel back the curtain on how to address the drone’s instability issue.
1. Maintain Proper Altitude for Stable Flight
When the drone flies too low, the fuselage is easily affected by the reflected airflow from the ground, resulting in unstable flight. To avoid this issue, it is recommended to keep the drone's flight altitude above 3 meters. If you find that the drone's flight altitude is limited, please check whether the novice mode is turned on or the flight altitude limit is set. The novice mode will limit the flight to a radius of 30 meters, and the altitude limit may have been set before. Therefore, you can turn off the novice mode before flying and adjust the flight altitude setting.
2. Ensure Accurate Gyroscope Calibration
The gyroscope is an important component for the drone to maintain balance and stable flight. If it is not calibrated properly, it may cause the drone to shake or deviate during flight. Therefore, the gyroscope needs to be calibrated before each flight, and it must be operated on a flat and interference-free ground. Avoid shaking the drone violently during calibration to ensure calibration accuracy.
3. Reduce Compass Interference
Compass interference is a common cause of flight stability. Before flying, you can check the geomagnetic value of the drone through the APP. When the geomagnetic value exceeds 120, the geomagnetic interference icon in the upper corner of the APP will be displayed. This indicates that the drone may be affected by the strong magnetic field around it, which is more obvious when flying near high-voltage lines, metal buildings or large equipment. It is recommended to take off in an open area and recalibrate the compass before flying to reduce interference.
4. Inspect and Maintain Propellers
The shape of the propeller directly affects the stability of the drone's flight. If the propeller is bent, cracked or otherwise damaged, it will cause the drone to lose balance during flight. Check the status of the propeller regularly and replace it in time if abnormalities are found. In addition, avoid the propeller touching the ground during takeoff and landing to reduce the possibility of accidental damage.
5. Optimize GPS Signal Reception
When flying in densely built areas, wooded areas or indoors, the GPS signal is easily blocked, resulting in inaccurate positioning of the drone and causing flight abnormalities. The drone in GPS mode needs to receive at least 8 satellite signals to fly stably, and the GPS on the APP should display three signal values. Confirm the GPS signal strength before flying, and try to take off in a place with a wide field of view to improve the quality of signal reception.
6. Check Arms and Motors for Issues
If there is a problem with the drone's arms or motors, such as loose arms, abnormal motor noise or insufficient power, it will cause unstable flight. Check whether the arm connection is firm and observe whether the motor is running smoothly. If any problem is found, stop flying immediately and contact Ruko customer service about the issue.
Summary
By checking and eliminating the problems one by one, you can effectively improve the flight stability and control experience of the drone. If the problem still cannot be solved, please contactRukocustomer service and send the flight log of the incident day to the technical department for analysis.
