Liftoff: Micro Drones News

Similar to its sibling, the Stargazer, the new Hisingy Sunray is designed as an amazing beginner drone and as a guilty pleasure for more experienced pilots!

It's good looking, super fun to fly and even comes with its own backstory! Drones like this help make the hobby more appealing to a wider audience, and we're excited to feature it in Liftoff: Micro Drones.

[h2]Battery simulation[/h2]
We have enhanced the battery simulation for increased realism. Previously, the amp draw was too low, resulting in batteries behaving like timers. Now, your choice of battery significantly influences the simulation. Low-capacity or low C-rating batteries may prematurely die or overheat. Battery sag has been refined for greater responsiveness, exhibiting a slight voltage drop when the load increases, recovering swiftly, and a slower, more enduring drop when pushed excessively.

We are excited to get your feedback on this new battery simulation!
