CG035 – Cheapest brushless drone

Lately brushless drones like this CG035 become more and more affordable. This is nice, because brushless motors compared to brushed ones are more powerful and reliable.

Although the CG035 drone comes without a camera, the manufacturer provided screw holes on the belly of the aircraft for such upgrades.

The design of this new drone reminds me about the MJX X101, which also has similar frontal LED lights and same spooky look. On the top of the aircraft is a tiny piece of plastic, labeled with “GPS”. In my opinion at this price range, can be a real GPS antenna.

Powered by a high-capacity 2600 mAh Li-Po battery, the advertised flight autonomy of this brushless drone is about 15-20 minutes.

Like many other new drones, this CG035 features headless flight mode and one key return to home (RTH) but unfortunately no altitude hold.
