This would provide extra stability for photography/videos while in flight and provides a little more safety if you have a single motor failure.  It is one of the least expensive options out there for a UAV with more than 4 motors in the price range of $660 to $1600 not including the cost of a camera.  black ops 2 ziggy droneBefore we start digging into the Storm Drone 6 let’s take a look at the specifications of the base model.parrot ar drone dove comprare The specs on a base model without any upgrades according to their website are:ar drone 2 qgroundcontrol Dimension : 550mm x 550mm x 280mmparrot ar drone perth

Pros – 6 Props for additional safety and stability, Able to carry larger payloads, Multiple upgrades available Cons – Base unit only has 4 minutes flight time, Need multiple upgraded components to achieve desired specs, Cost of acceptable design is pushing limits of UAV budget First let me say that this is a very intriguing UAV that has tons of potential.  After searching many of the forums out there it does seem to get mixed reviews for a couple of points. The two biggest complaints that I have seen repeated over and over about this craft are about the landing gear not being all that reliable and painful to install and the lack of a quality user’s guide/manual.

It would appear that the not so great documentation can make this RTF craft not such a quick startup as one would expect when purchasing a RTF UAV.  After those two it seems that it becomes just a matter of the features a person is seeking as well as the opinions that people have on buying a RTF vs build your own UAV. For me personally, in my search for a new UAV the biggest issue is cost if I were to outfit this to a point that I would be happy with it.  I would have to go with a larger battery, purchase the camera gimbal, upgrade to the NAZA-M V2 GPS and get the camera positioning kit.  With these added features the base cost for me would be $1160 and then I would still need to go out and purchase a Go Pro camera which ups the cost by another $200 to $400 dollars depending on which camera I choose.  That takes the starting price of this set-up into the neighborhood of $1360 to $1560 which if not out of the amount I want to spend at least pushing the outer boundary of my UAV budget.

I will keep this UAV in mind but based on the startup cost it may have to be a future possibility if any of the other craft that I am considering are close to it on the features that I want with a lower price point.  But we won’t know for sure until the reviews are done.Storm Racing Drone Group updated their profile picture.Storm Racing Drone GroupWould anyone with knowledge about racing drones/ storm drones like to become admin message with a little about yourself and what you know and ill let you knowSee allStorm Racing Drone GroupLet's show off our modifications and rewiring jobs.

I started this group when I realized there was no specific group for the storm racing drone. I miss my drone. I'm interested in buying a new or used one. Ive been looking into the smaller version that helipal has been developing any input? Ive been so busy last season. I'm ready to get involved in this group again. Had to say I missed you guys.

The main differences being the upgraded vTx from 200mw to 400mw, the Devo 7 TX with the RadioLink AT9 TX for 6 flight mode , upgraded camera, built in buzzer, and customizable LED with dip switches. All of the old SRD models upgraded, including the one that stayed the craze the Type-A, except the Type-B and Naza versions so far. /multi-rotors_speed-racing-drone-rtf.htmlSpeed Racing Drone (Ready to Fly) - HeliPalStorm Racing Drone GroupGuess what.
