    Just for fun - Skydio Order No

    Sure, should have included that. I ordered on October 1st exactly 1 hour after you could put in a pre-order. I would have been a little sooner, but I had to think about it for a bit.

    Anybody know of a video showing an actual range test of the Skydio 2 when using the controller? The controller is made by Parrot and is the same one used for the Anafi drone - it is wifi based. With the Anafi, I typically get 1/4 to 3/4 mile range in a suburban area. Wifi interference and...

    Hi from Illinois
