 Equipped with INAV as its flight controller software, the RangeX Pro enables reliable GPS features such as Return to Home (RTH) and position hold. Though acro flying isn't as optimal as with Betaflight, for Long Range missions, this is a minor trade-off, and familiarity with INAV's characteristics develops quickly.
-It's advisable to inspect and retighten all drone screws after the initial successful flights due to motor-induced vibrations. Regularly checking these screws ensures continual drone reliability.

+==== Center of Gravity Information ====
+For optimal performance, aim to position the COG (Center of Gravity) of the RangeX Pro as close to the dotted line as you can. When using a 6s 4500 mAh, ensure it sits toward the rear for better balance. This balance is crucial to maintain smooth flight dynamics and prevent vibrations.

+=== **IMPORTANT** ===
+For all models that support GPS rescue: The GPS rescue should not be activated if you are within 50m of the starting point. If the drone is within 50m radius of the starting point and GPS rescue is activated, the drone will drop form the sky. Only activate GPS Rescue manually if the drone is more than 50m away from its starting point.
