    The DEADLINESS of the Phantom!!!

    I saw this on Reddit a while back -- the aftermath of a Phantom crash (not sure which one, particular details etc...): http://i.imgur.com/JhOYeNU.jpg So yeah, looks like it can gouge you up real good. You may even need stitches if it hits you just right!

    You need to flip the S1 switch to the lowest position, as well as making sure "multiple flight modes" is enabled in the menu. Otherwise, the above reply is spot on! You can also change the circling speed and direction, at which point the app will tell you how long it will take to complete one...
