What is a drone?

A drone, also called an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an aircraft that has no human pilot on board and is usually controlled by someone on the ground.

Drones are becoming more common every year, with the drone industry expected to be worth a whopping $95 billion by 2025.

With this increasing interest in drones, we’ve decided to create this buyers guide so that anyone is easily able to understand the basics of drones and what they should look for when buying one.

Drone Types

What’s the difference between RTF, BNF and ARF?

These are basically ways of referring to the state the drones arrives in after you’ve bought it.

This could be regarding whether you have to build the drone yourself, have your own controller or if the drone comes fully built.

Let’s have a look what each one means.

RTF– Ready To fly – This means that the drone comes fully built, along with controller and batteries. Usually the propellers do not come attached as they may break during transit.

BNF– Bind-N-Fly – This is when a product comes with everything that is needed other than the transmitter. Usually with these types of drones you connect your own transmitter to the device.

ARF– Almost Ready To Fly – This is for people who wish take on the DIY approach to drone flying. The product usually arrives dissembled alongside an instruction manual.
