What keeps coming up against it

Without GPS lock and with vision sensors blocked (such as over featureless water), the drone has no reliable way to hold position. Owners are clear that skipping the pre-flight satellite check in those conditions does not end well.

Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.

5 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
