Staples had a clearance of drones and we bought one - a Propel Tilt.
For the specs / info - quill is actually part of staples but just using their link cause I found it. this is an old model? Propel doesn't even list it anymore Propel Tilit Stunt Drone- Assorted Colors | Quill.com
We got it for much less than the quill price ($20!!!!). Just as a novelty. I get bored easy with things.
But it is cute - has a camera, we flew it in the backyard for 5 min of the 10 minute battery life to about the height of our 2 story house.
Watched the video - noisy!
I got the B4ufly app and we are no where near any airports. yes, TFRs and other things could change that. I'd consider this a toy drone compared to what you guys are likely spending. I don't think it can go that far up or away.
Now to get legit. I paid $5 for the drone registration number and going to write it on the drone.
The certificate also talks about passing an aeronautical knowledge and safety test. I google that thinking it'd be something to do online.
The FAA has links to testing centers to take the test? i tried finding out the cost to sit for the test. Can anyone help with that? And then there's a cost for the certificate?
Can anyone tell me what the total cost is going to be for us to be legit for this $20 drone : ) ??
Hoping there's something about 'if you keep it below the height of the trees near you' or something like that / if you are miles from any airports / heliports, etc that there's a simpler/cheaper process, But likely no, right? Yes, it's important to be safe, etc. etc. But I could envision getting bored with this (sorry no offense meant to the fanatics here : ) before I get through all the govt. paperwork
