Street flighter

DRL RACER4 STREET

For some, drones are about fiddling about in the air with a gadget. Not the Drone Racing League (DRL), whose contraptions scythe through the sky at breakneck speeds. After many requests to make one available to buy, this is the Racer4 Street. It retains the DRL racing model’s powerful config, and supports simple part replacements so you’ll be able to fly, crash, and quickly rebuild. And you’ll crash with style, given the black carbon-fibre canopy that its designers reckon sits halfway between a Batmobile and a stealth jet fighter. Plus you get access to the DRL Simulator, so you can learn to fly on a screen first.
