These were/are great little toys JD! They were also sold on Amazon under a lot of re-brand labels but I haven't seen them for a while. As you say, the best thing about them (for use out in the sticks away from prying/crying eyes!) is that they have none of the modern restrictions on them. We used to fly ours out to way over the available display distance on the remote. From timings, they seemed to have a stock range of at least 1200-1300metres before loss of control signal RTH. Also the standard XT30 battery connector allowed normal batteries to be strapped under them. The motors/ESCs off of a crashed Bugs2 have been reused in a twin motor 840mm foam chuck glider conversion that our Old Mate runs on 3s. Goes a treat! Same for a dismantled Bugs3 innards.
GREAT! This drone is how I ran across your channel for the first time back in the day. AWESOME! My wife got me one for Christmas back in 2016 or 2017, I think😂. Stayed in the box until the following spring until I started looking up videos on RU-vid of Bugs drones and I found you Jay Drone😅. Got my Bugs out, started flying it and was hooked. Got several drones since and the wife wishes she would have never got me the first one😂. You were the reason I got my Bugs 2W out of the box after watching your videos and realized it was definitely no toy! It is still one of my all time favorites. Thank you Jay Drone!!! Keep the oldies but goodies coming.
I have the red and white still .need bring them out for little flight they are super reliable,i have a feeling they are about to become worth Dollars with the dji situation take care jay
You spot on bro that’s where people don’t understand. They went DJI and that’s it DJI for life, but don’t understand the simplicity of things some of these first generation pre-regulation drones, their weight in gold
Chilling bro just waking up some of the old stuff. Got my hauling company up and running. Still running a business for somebody else full-time. Staying busy you already know.
