    Better to build yourself ;) cheaper and more configurable / serviceable ;) . A 250mm class racer that can be lifted by a gopro can be built for around PLN 400. The smaller ones are similar. The disadvantage is that such a set is too powerful to fly in a room. These brush micromotors are interesting - they have coreless rotors and the permanent magnet is inside, not outside the rotor.

    Yesterday I was with a friend at the training ground. There was a beautiful windless aura and I was finally able to play. IM very impressed. I WANT MORE. The fun is really great. I wanted to check how high you can fly, but I gave up when the drone was so high that I practically lost sight of it. It is much easier to master the damper in the open air than in the room. My friend had a controller in his hand for the first time, and after a short instruction I gave him, he flew better than me :) .
    I am already hot for something brushless and with a live preview. But these are higher costs.

    I have an even smaller drone and I was surprised how well it is doing in open terrain and despite the fairly strong wind. I learned to fly on the DJI F450 with the primitive KK2.1.5 controller and it was quite expensive learning. But I will say that it is easier to fly a large drone, but above all, good equipment is what counts. I have one, let's say medium shelf - Spektrum DX6i. After all, Acro mode (without a gyroscope) is not for me - but you can fly in this mode only with FPV goggles, and I do not have one (I do not have a video transmitter at all). The F450 currently has nowhere and when to fly (and now it would be appropriate to have a license for it :( ). But maybe that's a good thing, because its motors are over 100W each, plus carbon propellers without any covers ... it was really a flying mower - it started and loaded easily in tall grass, mowing it beautifully.

    Regarding the apparatus layout, these are ... 4, called MODE-1..4. On drones, most people fly in the so-called MODE-2, although MODE-4 seems more intuitive to me (RUD and AIL / Yaw and Roll / signals are swapped), but since "everyone" flies in MODE-2, I also learned this way. In fact, I had a small helicopter model with 3.5CH steering before and maybe this is why MODE-4 seemed more natural to me, because these models are just like that - left only throttle, right front / rear and p / l rotation around its axis.

    I also tried to fly on a virtual camera on a smartphone - it was a failure.

    I am sorry to inform you that I have lost "our bubble", as my half calls it.
    The day before yesterday we went for a night walk in order to take a few photos for a new article about flashlights. As we went to a fairly large open area, I decided to take the drone to fly at night. It sounds silly, but at night it is much better to fly, because you can see "lights on the drone". Unfortunately, at one point, when the drone was at a height of about 15m and about 20m from me, the lights went out.
    Something must have gone wrong, because if the battery died, the drone would go down, but it should flash LEDs for a few more minutes and it just disappeared. We were looking for it during the day, but the area is so overgrown that there is no chance to find it.

    As a result, I have five new propellers to hand over, two motors, a housing (flying without, it gives a dozen more seconds of fun) and a control pad.

    If any of you have this drone and need something, I will give it back for free.

    I will leave the other two batteries and the charger for them for future projects.

    It would have to be a pelican or else how else to explain that the drone has suddenly disappeared. The biggest birds I have at home are ravens and occasionally gulls. While the latter can actually attack drones, they are not likely to swallow an 8x8cm object.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a Chinese-made mini quadrocopter, identified as the KK2 model, which is priced at PLN 65. Users share their experiences with the drone, focusing on its control mechanisms, sensitivity to wind, and the learning curve associated with flying it. Various control methods are debated, with some users suggesting that the controller's response can be adjusted for better handling. The drone's auto-return feature is highlighted, although its effectiveness is questioned when the drone is out of range. Users also discuss the fragility of the drone's components, particularly the motors, and share recommendations for alternative models and upgrades, including options with brushless motors and FPV capabilities. The conversation emphasizes the importance of practice in open spaces for mastering flight and the potential for future testing of more advanced models.
