Great drone easy to fly

It’s easy to fly and also to configure. Remember always to use the flight configurator before to use or the drone could resul not so easy to manouver

Have a problems, but nice

Flights nice and smooth, but nasty problem of random disarm in flight is very very bad thing, that happens almost every flight, sometimes several times in one flight. In this case i scared to flight outside or fly high. Maybe this can be fixed?

TLDR: Buy

This is the best purchase so far from my drone experience. I am 6 months new into the hobby, with 40-50 hrs starting on Liftoff drone sim on Steam. Learning from that definitely helped with using Manual Mode on this drone but nothing beats hands on practice.

This will satisfy all your beginner drone enthusiast wants as far as fpv goes. 3 different speeds, 3 different modes help offer a steady stair step transition to flying fpv like the youtubers.

Handles crashes like a pro. I've been reaaaally rough with it and it's a damn tank. Battery will fall out during big crashes, but still works fine. For sure thought I'd mess it by now but Flys great.

Buy replacement propellers and more batteries for longer flight training.

Buy it.

A reliable device.

It is really hard to break. I am still training using a simulator. During my attempts to ride Aquilla it was always vey sensitive to my sticks' movements and it was tough challenge to fly around the room. But it is still works and it looks like a new. I am more than satisfied to have Aquilla as my 1st drone.
