About the Indoors flight: That’s where the Parrot AR Drone stands out. Hit 1 button, and the propellers spin up, then adjust into high-speed for that sleek and stable lift off. It then hovers at three feet, awaiting more directions. In rookie mode (right button), you are able to rotate and go up and down. In the pilot mode (left button), you are able to fly ahead and backward and left and right. Mix both, and you basically have full control.
The optical flow placement hold is most effective on a distinctive floor, as a patterned ground or tiled floor. On a fully featureless floor (concrete or clean, unpatterned floor covering) it could tend to drift slightly. Total flight time is a bit below 10 minutes in my experience.
While you fly above furniture, the ultrasonic altitude hold might get confused. Often it climbs up while you fly over a sofa and often it decreases. Often it will get so baffled the AR Drone would go to the ceiling. But in general, it does a rather good job.
Open-air flight: This is simply not the AR Drone most powerful suit. Firstly, it won’t fly over fifteen feet (because of the range of its ultrasonic sensor I guess). Furthermore, the position hold really only functions when there is no wind. Should the wind picks up, the AR Drone starts to tilt and shakes, and also the optical flow camera seems to lose the lock. From time to time this means it simply drifts, sometimes it’s going to scoot off in a random direction after having a wind gust.
Though when there is no wind, you are able to fly as far as the wi-fi connection will allow you to. We have successfully tested up to a hundred feet.
