Helic Max Sky Nighthawk 1331W Altitude Hold WiFi FPV Drone Flight Test Review

This altitude hold WiFi FPV flier is unusually shaped like an actual military drone. Find it here
Pro's
- Relatively inexpensive for an altitude hold FPV flier.
- Unusal shape similar to a Predator militraty done, but with quadcopter propellers instead of wings.
- Extremely smooth and stable flier, great for aerial video purposes.
- Headless mode and one key return
- Altitude hold
- Good range at about 100 meters.
- Uses your smartphone to receive real time in-flight video.
- Uses widely available generic 750mah JST connector battery. Should be able to easily find cheap spare batteries for this.
- Does not require FAA registration.
Cons
- 2.4Ghz WiFi FPV systems can be laggy, with time delay and freezing of received video signal.
- Low resolution 480p recorded video.
- Is not very capable in the wind. More a calm day flier.
