AuroraRC STICK4: How Good Are Your Skills?

About the new product

Anoth­er bright nov­el­ty we noticed in the vast­ness of the vir­tu­al mar­ket. The Auro­raRC Stick4 is a beefed up 4″ Tooth­pick drone built on an X‑shaped car­bon frame. The pack­age of the mod­el includes time-test­ed high-per­for­mance com­po­nents, thanks to which the poten­tial of the drone, first of all, will be able to appre­ci­ate advanced pilots. Why, you ask? Because at 218g MTOW, com­bined with 4S pow­er and 4‑inch props, this quad pro­duces 2.8kg of total thrust. The ques­tion of how fast he is is not rel­e­vant here, it would be right to ask your­self how good your skills are. Intrigued? Then let’s move on to the fea­tures of the upcom­ing nov­el­ty.
