    Bleh, I’ve only ever flown a drone a few days at a time out at our city park. Then I criticize their controls and rewire the controller to be more intuitive, which lets me fly it fairly easily even in 30mph winds, but always seems to burn one of the motors up within 3 days.

    I ain’t flying the things to spy on anyone, I’m just trying to improve their controls.

      If you want to tinker with it, stay away from that DJI crap and build your own. Then you can get more than a flight or two without something burning up.

        They were all 3 given to me, one originally intact and 2 more as scrap parts. I would have never bought them myself. Hell, it’s so low on my priorities list, I haven’t even bothered trying to fix one in the past 6 months or more.
