Still Relevant
This book is just a bit outdated, however it still contains relevant information that will assist readers who are beginners.

Very informational
I bought this as a Christmas gift for a friend who plans on getting a drone when he retires. He said it was very helpful and he learned a lot.

It has useful information but is outdated.
It is well written but the information is several years old. Drone technology has progressed significantly since the publication date is 2015. It should have been updated but it has not. I wouldn’t have bought it if I had known but the publication date wasn’t in Amazon’s summarry description.

Solid Introduction
Good solid introduction to operating a drone. The book presumes your going to use a ready to fly package so it doesn’t go into how to piece together various components but covers the basics well.

Easy read, easy to follow
Easy read, easy to follow, wealth of information. Mark LaFay does an excellent job of explaining how drones work. A reference book for any Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS/Drone) Operator! I have highlight and tabbed the book if that tells you anything!

Flying drones in a safe and respectful manner.
Book is not a 2019 edition, but provides good information, and is easy reading.

No relevant to current technology. Poorly conceived and executed!
Probably the worst cobbled together anything for dummies. It’s certainly not current. It reads like somebody grabbed a bunch of different subjects and threw them together randomly. Multiple sections with repeat text/pictures, no real cohesive thought and the picture quality is absurdly awful! Even my drone instructor admits that the book is dreadful! I cannot believe that some of the folks who rated this book as 4 or 5 were even look at the same volume. Deserves less than a 1.

Old book, fairly outdated
I was hoping to get the latest info on drone tech, but the book is from 2015 and really just scratches the surface of what drones are now being used for. Fairly disappointing.

Bought partially as a joke as there have been a few drone mishaps and it was a companion to a new drone case I purchased as a birthday gift. Arrived very quickly.
