![]() ![]() ![]() On a conventional remote control, you can gently push the stick to do things like push the quadcopter to correct for a breeze, or do a very slow pass over something while taking pictures. Although it does make flying easier for novices to understand, you don't get the finesse of control that a conventional joystick offers, as the virtual controls either don't detect, or ignore, small movements. The touch-screen experience is a mixed bag. ![]() The FreeFlight app also allows you to control how aggressively you can fly the quadcopter, setting limits for how high it can go and how fast it can move and turn. That certainly makes it easier to get flying more quickly than with the Air Hogs Helix Ion, but it also means that you don't learn the lessons on how to take off and land manually. While most other small quadcopters involve a certain amount of figuring out how to take off, hover and land (with some crashes in between), FreeFlight does it all for you - no crashes involved. That makes the Airborne Night and Cargo simple and fun to fly. The app handles most of the complexities of flying a quadcopter, using the gyroscope to keep it level and compensate for slight breezes. It's easy for novices, but you don't get the finesse a conventional joystick offers. Landing is the same hit the button, and it does the hard work, dropping the quadcopter until it gently touches down. To take off, you just hit the takeoff button in the FreeFlight app ( Android and iOS), and the quadcopter lifts off and hovers about 3 feet up. The Airborne drones are very easy to fly.
