Pin

HGLRC Petrel132 in 6S version is the best choice among 3- inch BNF analogs. The drone is durable and flies great! The only weak point is the camera, but it still does not do the job badly. Also noteworthy is the exemplary performance of the 400-mVt video transmitter. When using the 4S battery, the drone exhibits a distinctive flight softness, which is great for warming up and getting used to the quad.
