Is that ages “3+” ? Should be perfect for a first practice drone then! (Sorry, couldn’t resist :joy: :joy: :joy:)

Looks good, seen a couple of YT vids reviewing them. Keep us updated on how you get on with it

I’m hoping to convince some of the nice folk on here to come and have a fly around our nice country estate and give me some pointers at the same time.

This drone looks like a fun piece of kit! Just watched a YT video of a guy dunking it in the sea, self flips and takes off again :ok_hand: :smirk: impressed!! does look like you need a snap on toolbox to assemble though :man_facepalming:t4::joy: look forward to your review :+1:t4:

@JamesB. It’s good to see one that is being used by a flyer rather than the ubiquitous YouTube reviewers.

I fly over water a fair bit, and that would have probably survived the unexpected on water landing I had with my MP a few months ago.

Watching your adventures with interest, as it’s an intriguing bit of kit.

Good luck with your first flight

No need, I’ll pick you up on my way. You’re only the other side of town! :rofl:

I watched a video on the SwellPro Splash drone, last week I think, the guy did some water landings, all went well until one landing into water the drone flipped over, he was traveling forward while landing. It was a deliberate try to flip it to see what would happen upside down in the water, well he could not get it to take off again, had to swim to retrieve the drone. Don’t want to put you off just thought I would say incase you have not seen that video. To be honest I did like the drone but not buying a new one just yet. ( SwellPro Waterproof SPLASH DRONE 3 Review - Part 2 Flight Test - Ocean Proof ) on youtube. Enjoy your drone
