Parrot DISCO fixed-wing lands in September

[AR.Tommy]

Hello,

the fixed-wing drone by Parrot will land in September. It's priced at $1300 rougly £999 - wow that is more than I did expect. (includes Skycontroller)

Yes, looks great.
There are details of the Disco now on Parrots website under the drones tab with prices!
There is also a new package for the Bebop 2- Bebop 2 FPV.
Parrot seem to be targeting the ever growing FPV part of the hobby with The Disco and now Bebop 2 FPV.
Both packages include a new skycontroller called skycontroller 2 and VR Headset.
Looking forward to seeing the new skycontroller 2- looks like a quality game controller moulded with a new smaller antenna design.
Hope they will sell this seperately.
Can't wait.

Good to see you still around Tommy...
I got one and they're great... geofence at 3500 meters is restricting my long range addiction right now but we got someone in there looking at config files so I imagine it will get hacked and unlocked. Already have larger batteries running... 64 minute flight time so far. Great control out at 2 miles with our antenna mod to the SkyController 2... looks like this will be a fun one

3500 meters is a lot. Which mod are you referring to? The one from solaris8x86?

I did not see a skycontroller antenna mod thread.

As Parrot increases charge capacity they are also increasing charge time.
When you are out flying, who wants to wait that long?

I charge my batterys in my car jeep.
