The Ultimate Gift This Christmas: Star Wars Battle Drones from Propel!
Battle against your enemies in the Galactic Empire! A dream that can now become a reality for all fans this Christmas with the new Star Wars drones from Propel! Modelled on classic starfighters of the Star Wars films, the advanced technology range enables live air combat games involving up to 12 people at the same time.
The T-65 X-wing Starfighter, Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced X1 and a 74-Z Speeder Bike comprise the first edition in a series of high-performance battle drones launched by Propel to bring the ultimate flight experience to Star Wars fans this Christmas! All three quadrocopters boast flying speeds of more than 50 km/h and a whole raft of technical innovations, such as Li-Fi technology, which is integrated into a drone and enables a new dimension in “real-time play”.
The Propel Star Wars drones also feature a new T Mode (Training Mode) for first-time flyers, which creates an invisible aura around you and makes the drone easier to control. Special manoeuvres like corkscrew rolls in forward flight and innovative reverse propulsion drone technology enable the craft to reproduce the famous flight action in Star Wars and maximise the fun and thrill of flying for the pilots.
A flight simulator companion app flight with 34 training modes takes you from cadet to admiral status; the app syncs your remote controller (hand device) to your phone via Bluetooth and movement mimics the actual live flight experience, allowing you to perfect your performance before taking on others in battle.
The app also includes an innovative IAT “intelligent awareness technology” which at any point during real-time gameplay battles knows your exact position in the game, and coaches you how to win the battle and defeat others.
The entire range is supported by Propel customer care; a promise of unlimited parts replacement for 12 months and free customer service 24/7.
Available in both Collectors and Standard Editions and stocked at all good retailers.
