I got a drone for Christmas.

Haven't had much time with it so far but it flies well and is easy to control. Sure is noisy tho.

It has one design problem tho, I found it out by ACCIDENT.

To turn it off you simply hold the down both throttle sticks for 3 seconds.
What could go wrong?

The second time I was flying it i took it up about as high as it would go. Seemed like a mile but it was prolly 8 or 900 feet.

I was worried about losing it and the wind was getting stronger up there so I hit the down control, for .... wait for it ....... more than three seconds.
It turned into a brick.

Good thing it's tough and made of plastic.




No ,that isn't me. I got it off you-tube.
