Interesting watching the rep showing off a prototype they are also working on that comes in at 249 grams. Good to see more lite weight UAV's coming to market.

Yeah, I had seen that video. I like that the actual CEO was presenting their offerings.
Must admit they are a really cool design but it really is a wait and see thing. Rooting for them to pull it off and looking forward to upcoming end user reviews and final specs.

I watched the demo too, and keyed-in on the fact 2 motors use much less power = greater flight times. With all the sophisticated gimbal tech available today, maybe 2-bladers can perform OK??
Unless you have a Hex it makes no difference. One motor down on a quad equals a smashed UAV so one, two,three or four motors really makes no difference. At least with a Hex 5 motors will bring you home.

Yea, I know.....that's why the 1st drone I considered buying was a Yuneec Hex -- redundancy is a wonderful thing, and I love the gimbal design. If they weren't so big and loud....Unless you have a Hex it makes no difference. One motor down on a quad equals a smashed UAV so one, two,three or four motors really makes no difference.

I cant help but think more of a VTOL when I see the Falcon as I own a couple XK ones and am looking at buying the newer XK-450 which offers even more flying modes RTR for about $100. The ones I own are a hoot to fly and pretty much anyone can do it right out of the box.
If the Falcon can take stable 4k with decent flight characteristics I think they will sell a lot of them or at least enough to justify a Falcon 2.

I am waiting for someone to do a great review of this drone. I am still skeptical of the 50 minutes flight time and the range.

This one looks like it could transform into a helicopter (monocopter?) in the event of one motor failure. Maybe enough stability to land itself safely?
I was referring to the V-Copter that was demoed earlier in the video. The design looks like if it had a horizontal tail roter of some kind it could fly on one motor.No way. If it was possible they would say it.
From what people at CES said it feels cheap
