Syma Sky Thunder D44 Dragonfly Drone

Lucky No. 13 of the Fleet

The Syma Sky Thunder D44 Dragonfly Drone has the longest name of any of my drones.  I acquired it on December 2, 2016, from Meijer in Loveland, Ohio, for $39.99.  I have flown it nine times, all in the flight room.

     The D44 is a fun micro quadcopter, although, it does not have any unique features that my other drones don't already have.  It combines easy control with fairly fast flight.  When I set up a slalom course in the flight room and flew each drone around it, the Sky Thunder had the fastest time of all.  Again, that does not mean it is the fastest drone I have, but rather the one that I personally can control best at high speeds.  And, its margin of victory was very slim.  I will give a more detailed description of the race course and flight results for each quadcopter in a future post.
     Like my other Syma drone, the X13, the D44 has geared props.  In addition, the motors on the Dragonfly are horizontal with the motor shafts perpendicular to the propeller shafts.
