Truly fun to fly

I am here to tell you all that this thing does fly in VR mode and the latency is not bad at all. I’m not sure why this product has not gotten as much traction, but you fold a plane out of paper and then attach this module to it and you can then control the plane and fly it in VR mode. How is this not amazing?!? So much fun!

No audio on tutorial video

First thing opening the app, I’m checking the Preflight Tutorial. Unfortunately this vidéo has no audio and I can’t follow instructions.

Flies brilliantly

Flies really well, it’s great fun and well worth getting one. Initial connection between the phone and the plane is a faff, it usually takes a few times of turning it off and on, re-connecting to Wi-fi etc before it works. Seems fine once connected.
