Timm Drone

As of right now (Oct 10, 2023) I do not have a drone. But I have had two drones before, these include the Bwine F7 drone and an early model of the holystones. (I do not currently remember the name or the model of the holystone so I do not have an information tab on it)

I started out with the holystone at about the age of 12, I mainly just had fun with it and messed with my dog and sisters but I never really dove into the drone community as a whole. As great as this drone was, it was cheap, so it didn't last very long with me behind the controls. I was practicing flying the drone while it was facing towards me instead of away, and I practiced this inside. Fun fact, flying most drones inside is a really bad idea, but I didn't know anny better. After a while of practicing, I somehow got one of the propellors stuck between the floor and a crack in the very bottom of the wall. The propellor didn't turn off so it just overheated and melted the moter on the inside of the wing. It was alltogether unfixable, expecually by me, so the drone became a paperweight, a holystone if you will.

For my next drone I was almost 17 and I was starting a college credit drone class in school. At first I didn't want to take this class but I had to do it before I could take a private pilot class. While I was doing some reaserch for a presentation in this class, I started going down a rabbit hole, I started to love drones more and more and more. The next day my drone class teacher told us that in the future having more hours flying drones will get you more money, and I was already hooked so that was all it took to get me to go out and spend almost all of my money on one. The drone that I bought was the Bwine F7 drone. It was about $600 and I only had $1200 at the time. I guess thats just a good way of pointing out just how invested in drones I had become overnight. And suprise suprise this drone didn't last that long either. Although it wasn't entirely my fault this time. It was only partly my fault but I'll get to that. So on the day of the crash I was outside, winds were probably a little stronger than I should've been flying in. And the sun was setting so I was about to head inside for the night, but when I was trying to land it for the night one of the wings tilted itself mid-air. I think this was due to the wind but I still don't know fo sure. After this it started spinning faster and faster with bigger and bigger rotations. I was freaking out at this point so I just looked down and suddenly the video cut out and I couldn't hear the drone anymore. All I could see as the last frame on my remote was a blur of yellow and brown. It was my worst nightmare, I had crashed it in a wheatfeild. This means I would have to go in myself and get back my $600. We found it the next day and here we are now.

I returned it and I am currently looking for a reliable new one. If you really read that whole thing than feel free to give some suggestions in the boards.
