AWESOME Star Wars Battle drone! The best so far!
This is an awesome piece of Star Wars fanfare! The attention to detail that Propel has given this Tie Advanced Star Wars Battle Drone is amazing. From the out-of-the-box experience with lights and random movie sound clips to putting in the batteries and learning to pilot the drone, there are Star Wars nuggets I won’t spoil. This isn’t a common drone at all, in fact it leans more toward a speedy battle quadcopter. Don’t expect camera or high altitudes with this. What you can expect is a highly maneuverable Tie Advanced. There are 4 speed modes of flight - training, speed 1, 2 and 3 (fastest). I highly recommend going step by step through the included instruction book - which is a fun experience in itself. If you overlook how to ease into the excitement by properly installing the blades and beginning with training mode, you will avoid the disappointment that other reviewers may have expressed here. Take your time to learn it, and it is a rewarding Star Wars toy! The training mode helps with auto takeoff and auto landing as well as limiting height, speeds and maneuvers. Once you have the controls down, you can get into higher speeds. The included lightweight training cage is great for beginners, preventing blade and body damage. I haven’t tried IR battle mode yet, but it sounds like fun against the X-wing. If you want the visual laser beams, that is to be released in the future as an add-on. Two rechargeable batteries are included for the Tie Advanced. Note that the remote control requires 4 AA 1.5v batteries (which, unfortunately, are not included). Additional propeller blades and an extra set of wings are included. A mini tool is included for help in mounting or removing the propellers. Even a removable screwdriver is built into the remote control - lightsaber styled. Additional screws are also included. I am glad I bought this Tie Advanced and took on a hands-on experience rather than listening to reviews that had reported their problems (which sounds like a result of not following the included instructions). It is pricey and not necessarily a “drone”, but if you are a Star Wars fans that likes speedy quadcopters with such a detailed attention to Star Wars films, you won’t be disappointed with this! Oh, and the Tie Advanced detail is sharp, with a sturdy feeling remote controller! Star Wars fan? GET OR GIVE the Tie Advanced Battle Drone. May The Force Be With You!
