How much fun would it be to fly a Kestrel.

For that price, I would hope it has a self powered GPS transponder that tells you exactly where it is.

True, and/or an accurate real-time map as you fly. I’ve found when flying over rugged and largely inaccessible terrain, knowing where it is and getting to it are two completely different things. The flight log in the App tells you within about 50‘ where it is... I’ve had some adventurous multi-day, repelling-down cliff retrievals in Hawaii after I clipped a tree branch. I could see it, but needed a fireman friend, and his equipment and expertise to get it, LOL

Which one?

The two winged Autels. One is the Kestrel, the other is the Dragon Fish.

For that price, I'd know where it was.... Because I'd be strapped into a seat on it.

Actually the Dragon Fish is just a prototype but is a smaller version of the Kestrel

So the Krestel is the big one with the rotating motors and the Dragon Fish was the one displayed in CES 2019?

It was my impression that they were both there. I only know this because I've been corresponding with Autel for several weeks.

I see. I only saw the one they showed in the videos, which has the front installed wing props and 2 on top of the fuselage.
