    These new drones are quite a different user experience to the old RC choppers eh, they use to be bloody hard to control and newbies crashed and destroyed them in seconds of getting off the ground.

    The likes of the DJI Mavic and most of DJI and other more expensive drones have sensors and electronic wizardry for Africa.

    Even flying in strong wind the electronics work their magic and stablilise everything. Bloody incredible how much techo stuff is in a little package.

    Heres a little video i made of my mate flying his new Mavic that he'd had for only a few hours.

    I think it will be a totally different experience flying remotely.
    Flying a real machine is done by using your hands and feet plus all your available senses especially your ass.

    I will be a learning experience for sure but I see it being a very useful tool for a lot of things.

    @R93 Currently learning on one of these:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Syma...634742522.html

    Cheap and fun. You can buy all the parts cheap. Destruction manual is in chinglish so pretty crap but no problem.
    @Beaker is lucky it's range is restricted to 8 min flying cant quite reach his house.
