Learning to fly your new Seahorse KontikiDrone can be nerve-racking. You don’t know what to expect, how is the KontikiDrone going to react and what if I do something wrong – will it crash.

The good news is the Seahorse KontikiDrones are easy to fly. Plus Seahorse offers a Learn to Fly course that will step you through the first steps of getting into the air.

Please note these lessons are weather dependent and may need to be rescheduled if the weather conditions are not suitable for flying.
