> After landing, always turn off the motors. Disconnect the battery if you do not
immediately fly the »NovaX 350 again.

when in hover flight without aileron or elevator input.
> Refer to your transmitter’s operating instructions for more information.
31.4.5 Gradual learning
Be careful when applying RUDDER, which will rotate the
»NovaX 350 around its vertical centre axis, causing you
to become disoriented. Study carefully how AILERON and
ELEVATOR behave after applying RUDDER.
