After the Cheerson CX-OF, here is another toy drone with optical flow sensor called: Flying3D FY919. Optical sensor combined with air-pressure sensor allows perfectly stable hovering.
At first look, the design of the Flying3D FY919 Reaper reminds me about a hover drone from the Avatar movie. It features similar caged propellers, which makes it suitable for safe indoor flights.
In order to allow sporty flight performance, instead of a 1 cell battery it is powered with a 2 cell one. More cells means higher voltage which means faster motors. According to the manufacturer’s specs the 350mAh Li-Po allows about 5 minutes of flight autonomy.
During night flight you will be guided by 4 LED lights, blue ones on front and red ones on back.
