Sensefly
The company's latest fixed-wing drone, the SenseFly eBee X, is available in a time of 90 minutes (and 59 by default). Advanced flight technology allows it to fly with precision and accuracy up to 1.2 inches. The rugged design of the drone also makes it possible for extended operations like mapping large areas or covering areas that were previously out of bounds. This drone comes with eMotion flight planning software, which allows users to control flight by entering parameters such as wind strength. To launch the drone users can simply press Play>. View flight details once the flight is completed.
XPlusOne
Because the XPlusOne quadcopter is a quadcopter it can be affected by wind. The XPlusOne, unlike other quadcopters is designed to fly in plane mode. Instead of using control surfaces the XPlusOne steers with differential thrust, which it gets from its four propellers. This gives the drone a high angle of attack, which means that it's always near stall. Wind can also impact the angle, making it harder to keep your drone flying.
Opterra
Opterra fixed wing drones are one of the best models. Its top-notch features include 30 minutes of flight time and a range of up to three miles. Optional HD camera supports 720p video recording.

How To
Repairing A Damaged Motor Of A Drone
It is important to first identify which motor part is damaged before you can repair it. To do this, remove the propeller and motor shaft. Next, remove all wires from the motor shaft and inspect the internal workings. If there is something wrong with the motor, you will know which part you need to repair.
If the motor has not been damaged, it is safe to fly again.
Imagine that the motor has become bent to the point it will not turn. The motor will need to be bent back into its original shape. To hold the motor in place, you can use a pair or vice grips. After this is done, you should inspect the motor carefully for any signs or wear.
Once you're satisfied that everything's ok, put the propeller back onto the motor shaft and reattach the wires. Your drone is now ready to fly!
