I picked a steadidrone qu4d drone and I'm looking for pointers in regards to tutor/courses

One thing that puzzles me, is what actually makes something a drone? You see lots of flying doohickeys labelled as a drone, but appear to be little more than a radio/remote controlled 'copter of some sort. To be a drone I thought something had to have some degree of programmability/autonomy. Does the inclusion of a camera make something a drone?
This is still a drone though. Unless it is a funky caravan.iscervo":2sff3j7g said:The term drone is now used to identify anything that has more than 2 rotors, they are self stabilising & don't require any special skills unlike single & twin rotor helis, they have varying levels of programmability/autonomy depending on how much you want spend.
