Title: Re: Parrot AR Drone for sale in Kuwait Post by: ujjwaana on December 01, 2010, 10:54:25 PM It sells for MSRP of USD 300. May be some stores sell it cheaper. Anyway, Rs 25,000 is a bomb.
You can find smaller Quads like Alien JumpJet which sell for USD 50 on Hobby king. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=12585 But definately these Parrot Drones have great reputation and are a beast. Title: Re: Parrot AR Drone for sale in Kuwait Post by: controlflyer on December 01, 2010, 10:59:09 PM Today I spoke to the seller and he called me to show me a demo.
So I went straight from work to see it fly.. To tell you seriously, the flying skills are just like any other quad, but believe me guys the controls on the i-phone were just too awesome! I must say, this little gadget completes the circle in the i-pod family. About clicking pictures: We are not supposed to carry any camera phone to the oil fields and hence I use the company provided torch phone at site..hehehehe |
