I received my wingman this weekend and after a few flights let me tell you I'm thoroughly impressed with craftsmanship and handling of the quad! I originally bought it for the novelty of the folding design and utilization of 18650 batteries, but am now convinced that my wingman will be the drone I grab when I'm going on a day trip with the potential to have a stop to fly a quick pack, relatively speaking because the flight time is amazing 🙂 Yves puts out amazing quality products, and his customer service is second to none!!! I would highly recommend this quad to any looking for a build with its features!

My best and most favorite (prebound) BNF by far!!! This thing is a ripper. It’s super tough too. Perfect for guerrilla whoopin’ and building divin’! Yves build work is something to be envied, i might just have to buy a squadron of these…

p.s. the only reason for a duct change was vanity. nothing has broken, only changed props. fist city approved.

It does everything that it says on the tin, and it does so superbly. If you like the what you’re seeing in the product description you’ll be happy with your purchase.

few random comment’s I’ll make:

** As you might expect, a ripper this is not. This probably isn’t the drone for your next freestyle vid, its a lil sluggish compared to smaller lipo powered drones.
** I had some very old miscellaneous 18650s that I’d been using in those cheapo flashlights and other stuff. I was hoping to get like a cool 5min off of them but they mostly didnt work at all. However my known-good 18650s have all flown great.
**My first flight was 16 minutes on a pretty new --Molicel P28A 18650 2800mAh-- I got a 16 minute flight doing slightly aggressive laps around a football field with the HDZero version.

All in all I’m very happy with this drone and I’m exited to find more places and reasons to use it.

Just finished my Wingman build. This kit rulez! This was my very first scratch build and also my get good at soldering build. I watched Yves hdzero build video at least ten times just to watch him solder. I hope i can get that good!

Maiden flight was today, 15:35 starting on a 4.01v charge molicel p28a with bt2.0 pigtail. At the end of the flight as it dropped from the air at a recorded low voltage of 3.06v!

I’m so pumped on this little friend and have many awesome adventures planned for it!

Thanks Fractal Engineering!!!
