The package: The box includes the AR Drone, inside and outside bodies, a 1000 MaH LiPo battery as well as wall charger, plugs for a number of country electric outlets, and also a target.

About the Indoors flight: Here the Parrot AR Drone stands out. Push a single button, and the propellers spin up, then move into high-speed to get a sleek and stable take off. After that it moves at three feet, expecting further instructions. In rookie mode (right button), you are able to turn and go up and down. In the pilot mode (left button), you’ll be able to fly forwards and back and left and right. Mix both, and you essentially have complete control.

The optical flow location hold is most effective on a distinctive floor, as a patterned floor or tiled ground. On a 100 % featureless floors (concrete floor or sleek, unpatterned carpet) it might tend to drift slightly. Total flight time is below 10 mins in my experience.

While you fly over furnishings, the ultrasonic elevation hold might get confused. Often it climbs up when you fly over a sofa and often it goes down. Sometimes it gets so confused the AR Drone goes to the ceiling. However in general, it lets you do a very fine job.

Outdoor flight: This is not the AR Drone most powerful suit. For starters, it won’t fly over fifteen feet (because of the range of its ultrasonic sensor I guess). Additionally, the position hold actually only is effective when there is no wind. When the wind picks up, the AR Drone starts to lean and rattles, plus the optical flow camera will lose it’s lock. Often meaning it simply drifts, maybe it is going to scoot off in a random course after having a blowing wind gust.

Though when there is no wind, you are able to fly as far as the wifi connection allows you to. I’ve successfully tested up to one hundred feet.
