Last summer my quad was a AR Drone. In comparison it is a POS. But, I learned a lot about flying drones and filming video. So yesterday I took it out for what I thought would be a short flight and as usual, lost control from 50 feet away and watched it land in a tree, about 40 feet up. With the help of a neighbor and an extension ladder we went to get it. Even after extending the ladder fully I was about 10 feet short. Duct taped a rake to a long pole and managed to shake the branch enough till it dropped out of the tree. Amazingly when it hit the ground there was no damage. It would probably be a good drone if they included a remote instead of using your smartphone as remote. Well I don't know if it's worth flying again, but last summer it was a lot of fun. Now in comparison, it's a POS. Guess I'll put it up on Ebay for $100 I hope.
Who else came from a AR Drone to P2V?
