The size of the aircraft is 302 mm in total length × 300 mm in total width × 65 mm in total height (including guard), the weight including batteries is ultra light weight of 130 grams. Thanks to this lightnessFlight rules prescribed by the aeronautical lawIt is not subject to regulation, so there are merits that you can enjoy your flight freely if it is outside the specific prohibited area.


And, it is the controller of this wheel type (transmitter) that reverses the common sense of the conventional drones. When you grasp the index finger, the drone moves forward, spreading the forefinger in the opposite direction, back. Turning the wheel with a small turning angle left and right turns the drone to the left or right, or you can tilt the aircraft to the left and right with a subtle adjustment and move laterally. When cutting further bigger, the drone is automatically advanced and turning is started, so that the computer automatically controls according to the operation. While nearly all of the drone currently on the market including smartphone type is controlled with left and right sticks, Kyosho's Drone Racer can be manipulated as if it were a car's RC car.


Actually grabbing the controller and skipping it, unlike traditional drone, of course it has a sense different from the RC car, for example, "RC car flying in the sky" feeling. Although it does not stop still like a drone of a high price range, it is possible to move it as expected when throttle is put, and it seems that it will become possible to perform considerably fine operation if it gets used. Above all, there is almost no need to give consciousness to up and down movements like a normal drone, so easy flight that you can concentrate on front and back and left and right movement can be said to be the biggest advantage. Around here, Kyosho's aim was "Flying carIt seems to be said that the concept of "as it is" appears.


It is the function of automatic altitude control by ultrasonic sensor and barometric sensor that enables simple maneuver. Three stages of switches are mounted on the thumb part of the controller, and you can switch "landing" "altitude 35 cm" "altitude 60 cm" with one setting. In other words, once you have decided the altitude, the drone will automatically keep "the invisible aerial road". It is a feature of Drone Racer that automatically takes over flight control that flies horizontally to beginners unexpectedly, and the user can just think about speed picking up course. The altitude of 35 cm and 60 cm can be freely changed even during flight.


As mentioned above, Drone Racer is an ultra light aircraft of 130 grams, which means it is not subject to regulation by the Japanese aviation law. Therefore, it is a big point to make it fly without a special license etc. Although it can be said that consideration of the surroundings is natural, it is said that it can be said that it is perfect for those who are beginners of drone or who want to see the drones race for the first time with ease, with a low threshold of a drone and a simple maneuvering method.


It is also possible to change the setting of the aircraft by connecting with the Windows PC with the attached USB. In addition, it is possible to set in the same way by connecting with an Android terminal which has a USB host function using an optional cable. It will be possible to change the exercise performance of the aircraft according to the user's technique and level, and to change to the settings for advanced users.


It is a safe point for beginners that "Readyset" which can be bought and can be skipped immediately so that anyone can enjoy it immediately.

When setting a small camera at the tip of Drone Racer, it will be able to control while watching the images sent from the drone in flight in real time.
