The propellers are see through so you don’t really notice they are there mid flight, which adds to the illusion but if you crash, finding them on the ground is a nightmare. It’s understandable why there is so much replacement stuff included in the box, though. We have had the X-Wing battle drone for some time now and flying it has become easier. Too fast a push and you are likely to smash into the nearest object. A low push forward on the right stick moves the craft forward, back for back and you get the idea. When taking off, familiar Star Wars quotes and sound effects can be heard, which adds to the whole atmosphere and then you are up and ready.įrom here don’t panic, the controlling is all about small steady movements. To take off, a two-second press of the bottom left front-facing button. Turn the controller on, make sure the drone’s battery is in, then it’s a quick up and down press on the left control stick. Even with this mode on, initial piloting is tricky.Ĭonnecting the drone and controller is, however, simple. It won’t crash to the ground either, but stay about a meter above. There’s a ceiling height of about six feet, which means the drone won’t fly away. This puts an invisible protective barrier around the drone.
#STAR WARS X WING DRONE SKIN#
We know there's more than one way to skin a womp rat but please at least put it in T-Mode first. Propel has pulled out all the stops to make the learning curve as shallow as it can be, but if you have no patience, you need to learn patience. While you will no doubt want to power up the drone and shoot off at 50Kph immediately, we really advise against it - unless you are adept at drone flying. When you first use the Star Wars battling drone, T-Mode is your friend. Again, it’s this deft touch that proves this drone has been made by a company with a deep love for the franchise. There’s a lovely touch when you unscrew the battery case that’s along similar lines to the sounds the display case makes. The controller takes AA batteries to work - they aren’t supplied in the box so make sure you stock up. It’s the Alliance Starbird crest, which lights up when the controller is on. There’s a nice touch with the on/off button. Choose Darth’s ship and it’ll be Imperial black. This one is of no exception.Īs we trialled the X-Wing drone, the controller comes in fetching Rebel Alliance white. Now, anyone that’s used a drone will know that the controllers are always bulky.
