1) if someone buys a bound drone that, when using the FLY app, was grounded, would the use of Litchi circumvent the grounding? I am not sure how one could investigate this,.

2) for an/the original owner, does the use of alternative control apps e.g. Litchi, invalidate the insurance?

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out. We don't have any guidance about any 3rd party applications, Sean therefore, we cannot guarantee the stability of this app when in use with the drone. Also, if you are using a 3rd party application and the drone suddenly had an accident or crash, the original warranty may be voided. Thank you for your understanding and support.
