I use to fly RC Airplanes and at that time. In the late 1990's. Shit was hard to fly back then. Just like flying an actual plane or helicopter. I spent more time on repairs then flying !!! Now the "gyro's" keep it stable. A child can fly them. Stay away from wooded areas !! Easy to loose radio signal and next thing you know, your $1,000 drone is a squirrel toy.

Haha, that is something my dad would have said a few years ago. Now, he is the reason I'm buying one. He flies a Mavic 2. I've been Flying a S3 nano blade helicopter. It's wicked, was super hard to learn. I can't even fly it in pro mode. His is solid, stays put, moves slow. I wanted something in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have stores and warehouses in 3 Canadian provinces and a large mail order clientele. They’ve made a living out of playing with the toys they love! He can do some amazing things with these drones. Needless to say I’ve watched some awesome videos. I can’t even drive one of their RC cars. https://www.greathobbies.com/ Edited May 2, 2022 by WeednFeed Smeggie, Shadow, Hunter1948 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very different feeling flying when using them and you really MUST have a spotter! I feel very unsure about them because of the things you cannot see. I have not used them since and will likely unload them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

But it is still in the top of a 100+foot tree where a gust of wind put it 4 years ago. I can still see the damn thing through the scope on the old 243. It's not coming down any time soon. It's all tangled up in small branches and resting rite in the crotch of 3 bigger upright branches. This is the one that I "had" but mine was white and did not have the replaceable battery pack option. https://www.amazon.com/Potensic-Beginners-Quadcopter-Altitude-Headless/dp/B09JG7XNBL/ref=sr_1_110?keywords=FPV+Drone&qid=1651545835&sr=8-110 Shadow, Smeggie and jointz 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
