Jim R. posted:You do not want to fly that micro quad copter near your accessories and trains. Ultra small drones like this one are difficult to fly. They tend to dart up and down or side to side with each minor adjustment on the tiny controller they come with.
The results will likely be damage, possibly to the accessories, trains and scenery, but definitely to the drone. Those small blades, even with the plastic guards around them, break very easily, and the blade motors don’t stand up to much abuse.
Cute idea as a scenery item, however. Leave it there as an attention-getter or fly it elsewhere in the house. (Yes, the small drones are easier to fly indoors. They can’t handle much wind outdoors.)
Thanks a million Jim. I have read the directions for this mini drone carefully, but approached the idea of flying it with a little trepidation.
Maybe if one becomes masterful at controlling this $25 baby drone, one can fly it near the layout with precision and avoid damage.
I will heed your words of warning!
