One of the leading magazines in the RC helicopter industry, Rotory Modeler, has done a 20 page, user review of the Draganflyer X6 UAV. The review discusses all aspects of this unmanned aerial vehicle, including applications, construction quality, flying properties, and the included flight accessories. The X6  got a rave review, with the authors citing it’s simplicity, functionality, and versatility.

The reviewers were impressed with our optional FLIR infrared video camera, being able to see in the dark and see  people and other objects from a great distance. Here’s what the reviewers had to say:

Thermal Infrared cameras used to be large, cooled units that required a large amount of electricity to operate.  Camera technology has advanced to the point where a FLIR camera can be economically installed on a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) such as the Draganflyer X6.

The reviewers also liked the build quality and design simplicity of the X6, commenting:

“When you remove the X-6 from the case you can immediately appreciate the simplicity of the design, making this a very robust and easy to maintain aircraft.”

The reviewers were very impressed with the bright OLED display screen built in to the transmitter. You can see the screen clearly, even in direct sunlight, ensuring that you don’t miss critical flight information due to glare.

All in all, the Draganflyer X6 got a fantastic review. You can read the review by picking up a copy of the May/June 2009 issue of Rotory Magazine, available from Rotary Magazine’s Web Site and most hobby stores.
