Sky Viper 2016 s1700 Stunt Drone

I bought this Sky viper s1700 because it didn't have a camera and it was inexpensive. It's an excellent drone to learn to fly for the first time. It has taken some terrible abuse and is still working great. The only draw back is the in flight time on the battery (around ten minutes). I had foresight to buy an extra battery at the time of purchase. Would recommend this produce for beginners or anyone.

I had to return the first one because it didn't respond to inputs from remote. The replacement only works a small portion of the time. Once airborne, the drone rarely responds properly to inputs. It usually ends up getting away from me. Maybe it's operator error, but still not a simple toy to use for kids.

This being my first drone, I studied closely the options on the controller. I only have one arm so this drone suits me perfectly . This drone is great for beginners and from what I've seen on you tube the old timers like it too as it handles real sporty on the max button. You have 3 buttons on the controller to speed up the drone as you get better. It has automatic hover and an auto or manual option on the controller. Don't think you can go wrong here as the price is right also. I'm getting about 6 minutes flight time and recharged in about 15 or 20. Good flying!

This is a fun and easy to fly quad copter. It's great for beginners because of it's auto launch and auto land features and auto altitude mode. It's also great for novice and intermediate flyers because you can switch to manual mode to have more control. It also has the 3 speed mode for advance flyers. This is small, compact and you can buy extra batteries for more flying time. be aware, that this is a brushed motor and can wear out eventually, so avoid obstacles that may inhibit the props from rotating due to crashes. Shut off the quad immediately to prevent burning out the motors. Overall the price is great for a first time flyer to learn how to fly a drone.

Overall this is a fun little drone. Mine would barely lift off with the prop guards installed but run without them anyway. A get a lot of false starts in auto take off. Props start to spin drone rises a few inches and drops back down gotta try 2 or 3 times. Zippy little thing once in the air. Not bad for only 40 bux
