Draganflyer X6 UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) Featured In Rotary Modeler

Rotary Modeler Magazine, one of the leading magazines in the RC helicopter industry, has written a 10 page, detailed review of Our Draganflyer X6 UAV. The review discusses all aspects of our latest unmanned aerial vehicle, including applications, construction quality, flying properties, and the included flight accessories. The X6 UAV 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. The small FLIR camera is the most sophisticated cameras available, being able to see in the dark and spot people from a great distance. Here’s what the reviewers had to say:

“With either of these cameras, people “leap” out of the video even from great distance. As a result, these cameras are perfect for search and rescue operations and over the years have been responsible for saving many lives.”

Thermal Infrared cameras like the Photon 320 and 640 used to be large, cooled units that required a huge amount of power to operate. Now, camera technology has advanced to the point that we can install and deploy a FLIR camera on a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) such as the Draganflyer X6.

The reviewers also noticed the build quality and design simplicity of the the unmanned aerial vehicle, 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 great 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.
