I’ve bent blades pretty badly and I’ve been able to bend them back with no problems. It’s a trade-off between crashing and having your blades come off versus crashing and breaking your blades. You can add a tiny dab of crazy glue to the blade if you want them to stay in place but you will break your blades faster this way. It does come with a set of 4 blades and extra sets cost around $5 dollars. The blades will pop off when you crash! And surprisingly I’ve always been able to find mine, but just a warning if you’re flying over grass and you crash into a tree, you’ll probably lose a blade or two. It’s perfect for the backyard or park, especially around sunset when you can see the LED lights. As you can see from the video this quad is quick! The range is about 25-30 feet, and then it just falls out of the sky. The Proto X can easily handle a 2-3 mph breeze with no problem. I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews that relate to problems with trimming! And when you first turn on your quad and pair it to your controller, you need to leave it on a flat level surface to let the accelerometers initialize.īecause it’s 2.4GHz you can fly this little guy outside in VERY LIGHT WIND conditions. It is very important that you trim your quad before flying it or else it will be a pain to fly and you’ll think there’s something wrong with it. Being a nano quadcopter I was expecting poor flight performance and flight time but I have to admit that it actually far exceeded my expectations! It is incredibly stable when trimmed properly. He has owned a few of these small copters but they were of the cheaper variety and lasted only for about a month before they crashed, the propellers broke or the remote failed to respond.Flight review of the Proto X Nano Quadcopter by Estes. “I purchased the Estes Proto X Nano Quadcopter for my son. The small size of the drone helps it to be more responsive to commands. Using the remote control is quite easy you have a left stick for altitude and rotation, right stick for direction, plus a couple of buttons to adjust the trim and it also has an internal built-in gyroscope that keeps it flat and steady while the little electronic bug is in the air. The most vulnerable part of the drone is his rotors that can come out easily in a crash but you can put it back even easier. This is a little less impressive but for and indoor nano drone you don’t really need much.īesides all this, the drone is quite compact and durable. The drone can fly at a distance of 30 meters and can take up a speed of 0.05 meter per second. However, you can try it to use outside as well, but be sure that there isn’t any wind out there. But when you use it outdoor any smaller wind can throw it away causing damage in the drone. Well, in our situation the manufacturers highly advise using only indoors. In some cases, the manufacturers highly advised not to use a drone inside, because it can cause major damage in your decorations and in the drone too. Those lights also help you to define the position of the small aircraft. Luckily it’s built with LED’s and you won’t confuse it with a real bug. It’s small and makes small noises just like a little bigger bug. The best way to describe the flight experience is by imagining that you control a bug. This is useful because you don’t have any other safety measures that ensure the safety of the drone when it’s running out of battery. When the battery is running low the LEDs on each side will start to flash rapidly. With one charge you can keep the little aircraft in the air for around 10-15 minutes. Therefore, you have to wait every single time for the drone to charge up which takes around 30 minutes. You can’t take out the battery, so you don’t have the possibility to change the batteries.
