FAQ
Can my drone be flown around my neighbourhood?
Yes! These are called UAVs (unmanned aircraft vehicles). There are many options for drones, from small quadcopters to larger fixed-wing aircraft. The FAA recently released new rules for commercial UAV use, meaning that they are now legal to fly for business purposes. However, be aware that flying a UAV near airports may cause interference with air traffic control systems, and you must obtain permission from local authorities before operating one.
Can I fly my drone indoors
Yes, it is possible to fly your drone indoors. There are only a few things you need to do: Make sure your home is free of obstacles and hazards. For instance, avoid flying near windows and doors, heating vents, heating units, air conditioning units, electrical outlets or water pipes.
What is the difference between a quadcopter and a hexacopter?
Quadcopters are four-rotor helicopters that fly like traditional helicopters. It has four rotors which rotate independently. The hexacopter can be described as a quadcopter but has six rotors, instead of the usual four. Hexacopters are more stable and maneuverable than quadcopters.
