Great Value Parrot Sky COntroller

Great service. Product arrived on time as promised. Works great. Range 3 times better and much easier to fly. Makes the drone much more enjoyable and fun and you wont have any trouble learning. Just remember to download the manual off the internet and away you go.

Greater control

I bought the Skycontroller because I was frustrated trying to fly the Drone using the ipad/iphone/android. I found myself CONSTANTLY looking where my thumbs were, instead of watching the drone. I also was looking for a solution to fly the drone, under control, greater distances. The Skycontroller answered both of my concerns and I really prefer flying in this manner. The battery lasts approximately a half dozen flights without a problem, probably more, but I don't want to find myself in a situation with the drone in flight and a dead skycontroller. My only issue was the emergency "landing" button (aka drop from the sky now button). I found that I could remove the use of that button in the software. Big and bulky, need to use the neckstrap, but its an absolute must if you want to have the freedom of longer flight routes and greater control of the drone.
