The Alias uses a 2.4GHz transmitter with a helpful display screen that provides all kinds of useful information to the user. Of course, there’s always the “Easy Mode” option, but when your testing options are limited (mostly due to the nonstop rain in my area over the last few weeks) you really need to make the most of the opportunities that do arise, and for me this meant skipping the easy flight option and going right for the more advanced modes. I suspect that in dead calm weather (which we just haven’t been getting lately), the Alias might be significantly easier to fly. Secondly, due to its super light weight, the Alias is very easily bothered by wind, and I do believe that I was blown about quite a bit during testing, which made most of my flights seem very erratic. For one thing, I didn’t want to lose the drone in the water, so whenever it zoomed off in that general direction I pretty much had to abort the flight and go down while there was still some beach left to land on. And obviously, either of these conditions can easily make for trouble. Of course, on the day I was testing it, I was flying near water and it was also quite breezy outside. When I tested the Alias, the first thing I noticed was how difficult to control it was. The Alias can be a bit tricky to fly, but it sure feels good when you successfully complete one of those tricks! Of course, even without upgrades, the Alias feels extremely fast when you’re flying in either Fast Mode or Expert Mode, and it must at least be in Fast Mode if you wish to perform any tricks. If you choose to upgrade your Alias, it will then be capable of traveling at a top speed of 37 Km/h, which equates to 23 mph. As for speed, the Alias is supremely fast! It can reach speeds of up to 29 Km/s an hour (that’s 18 miles per hour) without any upgrades being done. Additionally, this super lightweight drone has bright LED lights underneath for nighttime flying, it comes with a 1 cell 650 mAh LiPo battery (providing approximately 12 minutes of total flying time), and it features the LaTrax Auto-Leveling 6-Axis Flight System (which makes for very stable flying when in Easy Mode-the Alias’ default setting). It also has the ability to perform amazing aerial acrobatic stunts such as flips, rolls, and twists. The LaTrax Alias Quadcopter is a high speed quadcopter drone that weighs just 100 grams and features 3 distinct flying modes (Easy Mode, Fast Mode, and Expert Mode). I say attempted because there was truly more crashing than flying, but still, it was certainly lots of fun to try!
