Do I need experience to use Marlyn?

No, you don’t need any specific previous flight experience to fly with Marlyn. The drone is equipped with an autopilot that handles the transition from hover to forward flight and anything in between. We do encourage to have sufficient understanding of responsible airspace usage.

Nevertheless, a typical mission is fully automated from vertical take-off, to mapping the project site, back to the landing again. You can always intervene by taking over manual control of the drone via an intuitive controller or by initiating a safety routine (See the question relating safety routines below).

A pre-flight checklist is provided to further ensure safe operation of your drone.
