    How the hell such a small drone can grab so much air with those tiny propellers to be able to achive these insane speeds!? On what rpm motors are working on those, 30K, 50K, more?

    I am into RC and electronics. But I prefer slow as hell bi-plane. It is more enjoyable to control. And can stay in air much longer with same battery.
