My AR Drone had busted battery on arrival. But what really had disappointed me was very flimsy styrofoam construction. Looks like this version also continues to have styrofoam.
- imdsm 12y agoIsn't that a feature? Joking aside though, isn't the Styrofoam to give it a low density structure?

- sytelus 12y agoIt's not a feature, its cost savings. You will never see good quality drones with styrofoams. The styrofoams makes drone lighter so that battery can be also cheap and manufacturer can claim bigger number for flight/charge. One advantage of styrofoams is that you can change it cheaply it breaks but in reality styrofoams makes drone much less stable because even small wind can now throw things off. It also makes it much more fragile.
- baddox 12y agoIs there styrofoam on the Bebop other than the side guards? Those side guards are intended to be removed for outside flight.
