I have yet to take this one outside. But the weather is supposed to be nice for a few days, probably tomorrow.
Also, I ordered the crash kit - some extra propellers, and additional stuff.
This is a very small unit indeed. I think it weighs less than an ounce total.
But I can tell you from the speed that it has and it’s unpredictablity, I WOULD NOT fly a bigger unit inside!
You goof
you shouldnt be flying this one inside either! I have a Rotor Concept HP-Q1 Quadcoptor and like you, I started indoors because I thought it would be easy to lift off, move it over and set it back down. What I did was promptly do some drastic and unplanned pruning on one of our long standing tall house plants. Then I recalled the words of the fellow I bought it from at the tradeshow in Vegas
When you try this for the first time, only do it outside in a windless day in a place that has lots of wide open spaces. Well, said I, there is a football field down the road so Ill use that. Not enough space, you need much more room said the sales guy
. and he was right. I ended up trying it outdoors for the first time in a park that has two back to back baseball fields and within minutes, the drone was caught up in a tree about 200 yards away. How did it get there so fast? Easy when you dont yet have a good handle on how deceivingly sensitive the controls are. And so at 8 am on a Saturday morning in a public park while people were out walking their dogs, I was hauling along a 20 foot long extension ladder (that pulls out to another 20) to climb up and pull the drone down. Fortunately, it was undamaged but it frankly was amazing that I even found it.
