The Roswell Flyer or Draganflyer or HMX-4 flyer
were designed by Mike Dammar at www.spectrolutions.com
(a very cool man) They all shared a same design, just strong
enough to fly indoor. It is the greatest machine i've ever flown,
and all friends or people in the street agreed. The price is very
high (as expensive as a picollo) but the price range is the same
with all rc helicopter : all price can be easily divided by 2! I
regret that only a few people can buy this wonderful machine but
if you can afford one, do not hesitate : buy one, it is very
stable in the air (3 gyro) but still required some helicopter
knowledge.

Great machine, except flight
duration (3-4 or 5 minutes!). I hope that new generation of
li-ion will help.

Tired of only being able to fly 3-4 min with your Draganflyer
baby? the new generation of battery: Litium Polymer or LiPo has just
been created for that purpose: extending flying time because of an
unseeen yet capacity to weight ratio. You can now expect on an average
15 minutes of cordless and pure flying fun.

Does the Roswell Flyer use stepper motors are simple DC
motors ?
No it uses cheap mabuchi motor, but each of them is
"drinking" 2-3A, multiply by 4 and you
understand that with 900mAh, you can only fly 4 min...
Do the electronics contain a gyroscope to calculate level
flight ?

Can be bought at www.draganfly.com

Overall view
The original frame is weak in many places and was
designed more for indoor flying. A lot of people work on
the Roswell Flyer and they all designed their own frame
using carbon pipes. I decided to buy
