The 3M rule for flying a multicopter safely

Three easy-to-remember tips to always keep in mind to take care of your drone and make it last longer.

Whether it is a work tool or a hobby, a multicopter is still an expense, as well as a beautiful object in the eyes of an expert or aeromodelling enthusiast, and anyone who owns one has an interest in looking after it and preserving it in the best possible condition for as long as possible.

It is not an easy thing, because no matter how "relaxed" your intended use may be, even just playing in your garden, especially at the beginning the landing phases can involve hard impacts due to inexperience. Even at more advanced stages there are many things that can put the integrity of the model at risk and damage some of its parts.

Now let's look together at 3 rules and tips that are very easy to remember to keep your multicopter safe in the initial purchase phases and throughout the life and use of the machine.

1 - Assembly

It is vitally important to choose, even before purchasing, a supplier who can support you, whom you know and who is easy to reach.

Ask for advice on a company that does not skimp on materials and parts, because drones are made of tiny details that are all very important.

Poor soldering, propellers made of low-quality material, motors mounted too hurriedly are small details that you might not notice at the time of purchase and during the first flights, but that could show up within a short time. A badly calibrated gimbal, on the other hand, is immediately obvious, through blurry photos and shaky footage, a truly annoying effect.

In general, manufacturers and assemblers of certified drones are the most reliable because they have already had to pass conformity and quality tests with the highest national authority.

2 - Maintenance

This second step is closely linked to the first.
The importance of being able to rely on experienced and competent assemblers is also reflected in the peace of mind of always being able to turn to them for maintenance.

If it is not possible to turn to the assembler or the manufacturer for geographical or other reasons, it is again very important to look (by asking friends and above all by reading specialised online forums) for companies that produce certified drones, for the reasons already explained.

3 - Mars

It is not the name of a planet or of a pagan deity. It is simply a type of parachute with the best functionality-to-price ratio.
In fact, Mars parachutes are equipped with a spring for rapid deployment, are easy to connect to the drone and can also be remotely controlled, so they perform optimally in protecting your multicopter from ground impacts, while being less expensive than FruitChuse, which use a CO2 system for very fast triggering but cost close to 500 dollars.
