Very cool!

[@Vanchick87]

hello author. Help me please. I have the same drone, but there is no program for programming and controlling it. Do you have such a program? Drone AscTec Hummingbird. Thanks

[@Powershotknecht]

cool!

How is this compared to the JTT-A15? JTT makes ideal tools for business application too.

Hello. Help me please. I need quite a bit since I almost made it. The fact is that I bought an old Asctec Hummelbird quadcopter. Help bring it to life. Thank you
