Although machines available on the market are becoming more and more technically advanced and more easy to handle, those are still a devices that by a number of different reasons, may fail. That is why it is extremely important to have a responsible approach to flying, even in the case of a small device that weighs only 1.5 kg and looks more like a toy than an aircraft. Awareness of possible threats undoubtedly means a more comfortable and aware flying.
