Let's get started!

{% si_intro Disclaimer %}
You are responsible for handling the drone and its components. It is your responsibility to make sure you understand how your drone works and that it is in good working condition before flight. Using a drone in a reckless and negligent manner could cause damage or bodily harm, resulting in lawsuits, fines and jail time.

{% si_step Requirements %}
To fly with the Crazyflie you need to have a computer with a {% poplink crazyradio-2-0 %} or PA, which is the recommended way, or a mobile device. To fly manually with your computer you also need a gamepad of your choice.

{% si_step If you get stuck %}
Dont't worry! We have many ways to figure out what might be wrong. A good place to start is to look at the [Troubleshooting](/support/troubleshooting/), [FAQ](/support/f-a-q/) and [Getting help](/support/getting-help/) pages. Our [documentation](/documentation/system/) also provides more details than this guide.
On our [Github Discussions](https://discussions.bitcraze.io) you can look at discussions from our community or start your own to get help.
