We know a team that does cover these machines, head on over to Flite Test to see all about RC airplanes.They're attached by aslim plastic skeleton to the brain of the drone, which sits inside a small, shuttle-like chassis to the centre. For instance, they're solid green when connected to the controller, or red when the battery can't keep it flying any longer. This fixed wing drone doesn’t use its own in-house software, but uses third-party software to implement flight autonomy. In addition to the two huge virtual joysticks on screen, there's an automatic take-off and landing button, alongside a number of settings for changing elements like maximum height and speed.

Thanks to the rise of multirotor radio-controlled aircraft we are now stuck with some pretty weird naming conventions. The Parrot Flypad gives you the most precise control of your Parrot Swing drone and allows you to pilot it over a distance of up to 60 metres. Real all you get is the craft itself, with all the servos and main brushless motor already installed. It's also so small and light that any wind outdoors will easily send it off course, into a tree, shed, or person. I hope you don’t read this question on all our posts, as the answer is always the same: The FAA in the United States requires licensing for your flight situation, not your drone.

Start with simple programs where you automate the drone’s flight path by modifying the default code. As you'd expect, you don't get the same high-tech obstacle avoidance or wind resistance you'd find in a more professional drone, which limits where and how you can fly the Swing. If any one of them fails you’re in trouble and only very skilled pilots can save the craft in some situation.

Its size and weight mean that when it does fall, there's no real damage upon impact with the ground. This fixed-wing drone comes with the Parrot Flypad controller, which also includes a holder for your smartphone.There’s been a lot of back and forth on what counts as a “drone”, but to me an unmanned craft is only a drone if it is at least semi-autonomous. While you only get one third of the potential range using your phone, the downloadable app is very easy to use, with a setup that's almost as easy as using the included controller. With a completely friendly user interface, a simplified first log in and automatic recognition of your connected drones and accessories, everything has been thought of to let Free Flight Mini expand your options for playing and experiences.
