If it has a camera experiment once you got the controls down pat. Enjoy !!!

$18.99 well worth the price!

(21,109 posts)No you do not need a license to fly this particular drone. Drones that weigh less than 0.55 lbs (0.25kg) are considered mini-drones, and they dont need Part 107 license.
I am a licensed drone operator. I fly every day for my job. That damned 107 was one of the hardest tests I've ever taken. They wrote it for real pilots.
