southern MN | The cheaper drones under $200 bucks or so are hard to fly. They don’t have much brains, you actually have to fly them!
The more expensive ones like Tedbear bought are very easy to fly. They do all the flying work for you. Just move the sticks the direction you want to go, if you get confused let go of the sticks and the drone will hover still in the air, wind or drift or such won’t matter, the more expensive drones use gps to keep themselves in position.
I watched my P2 drone fly away once, it got confused and nothing I could do, it just took off to the east. Went across the ditch with the Polaris 3/4of a mile and it landed itself in a field road 35 feet wide between mature soybean and corn fields. Whew!
Another time my P3 drone was drifting on me when it was supposed to be hovering, what?
Looked around me and realized, I was in a calm area behind the grove, but the 15mph winds I took off in changed to a 40mph front coming through, the drone couldn’t keep up. I was able to lower close to the ground where the winds are slower, and angle a dimabd pattern with the drone that brought it back about 2mph. I was coming up with plans to land it behind a neighbors grove or some such, but I got it back home.
These were $500 and $1200 drones.
We won’t talk about the time I was circling the tractor in front of the shed and pushed left instead or right, surprisingly a new set of blades got it working 90% of the time...
