If the wind takes the AR drone and it runs out of battery, will I be able to use this to locate the drone?

I don't think so. The software locates it via wifi so you would need to be within range. There might be another way but someone else would have to explain. And. If the battery is dead then it wouldn't be chirping anyway.

the gps works. had to put a better battery in the AR to aid the length of flight.

I'm afraid not. It is a receive-only GPS. The drone itself transmits GPS position information from the module back to your phone using the drone's on-board WiFi hot spot.

Possible. This motion sensor can only see about 30 feet if you point it down. Point it up and the wind will set it off. This means the sensor is close and receiver has a short radio wire on it which could possibly receive a sensor signal from a long distance.

Yes. I haven't bought the correct rechargeable yet and still use AA but it has battery indicator only and not time left. 3 rounds on regular batteries. However it is really simple and very accurate. Just need to position the flag and look at the distance. No time wasted.

The device in your question is Garmin Temperature Sensing device. It must maintain no more than a 20'-30' distance from the GPS you are linked to. So unless you want to record temperatures, at the drone, with the GPS also attached to the drone, this device will be of no use to you in the application in question.

No, you'll need a balance charger. You'll also need to solder a new connection on it, as the one it comes with won't fit the drone.

Hi my friend you will need an AR Drone 1.0 Charger or buy this charger: Parrot Ar Drone 2.0 Li-po Battery Speed Balance Charger Adapter

Check specs on DJI.com. I do not fly farther than I can see it. I have read accounts of in excess of 2000 feet altitude. If you exceed range and fly in GPS mode the aircraft will revert to "go home" mode and fly back to where it took off from and land. If you haven't bought yet consider the dji phantom vision II. It's awesom

No. GPS gives the Phantom the ability of compensating for wind allowing it to hover in a set spot on it's own. Flying in GPS mode is also somewhat easier for a beginner to master. In Attitude mode (non GPS mode) if you give the craft a little left stick and let go the Phantom will keep going left until you give it the same amount of right stick to cancel it's left momentum. In GPS mode when you let go of the left stick the craft stops it's left flight automatically. The craft also sets a Home Location on first throttle up so if you loose your orientation of the craft and don't know how to get it back to you (easy to do since it is so symmetrical) you can power off the controller and the Phantom will automatically climb to 60 feet, fly to the Home Location and land itself.

No, the battery is internal with no access...too bad because it flies so well, you could go a lot longer than it lasts. Hoping they add a longer battery and camera in the next gen version b/c it is so stable and easy to fly...

Yes, it will go. Just make sure u charge it regularly. When battery is low it might not go over grass/rough Terrain well.

the vehicle is very sensitive to wind gusts. So, the flight computer will compensate for any instability due to a wind gust of about 10 mph. Anything higher than that will not allow full control of the vehicle and will drain your battery faster. Aerospace Engineer

The AR 2.0 is best operated in calm to light wind conditions only. With the Flight Control GPS it station keeps only if wind is no more than 10-12 MPH. This drone is very light, so more than very slight turbulence causes tilt which shuts down the motors. I'm currently visiting the NW coast and daily wind over 15MPH has pretty much shut me down for a while.

Hummmm now there is good question. I would call them and ask. Google them they have amazing customer service. The app really works based on surface streets and basic gps. Not sure what would happen with aerial tracking but call them they are pretty great.

No, it can't. It only picks up GPS outdoors, with clean line of sight to the sky. You could include a shoe sensor, but even then, using the tracking ability of the watch all day would kill the battery pretty quick! I would use a Fuel Band by Nike or a FitBit for what you are looking to do.

It will fly, but you can also have a fly away. Why do you think you have no GPS signal? Satellite signals everywhere.

You can get ones that last ~20 minutes. Search 2200 mWh parrot ar drone battery and you will find one.

Don't know, never tried the WIND. The sensor that came with this device is crap. IMO, Polar is a bad product when it comes to batteries and convenient of recharging. You'd have to re-buy the entire sensor if battery runs out. You should be switching to Garmin anyways.
