Propel Star Wars SW-1983-CX – 74-Z Speeder Bike Test

Fun and gadget quadrocopters are very popular on the drone market. We have already tested some models.

Recently we were looking for a new drone and came across the Propel Star Wars SW-1983-CX – 74-Z Speeder Bike. It seems to be a very popular quadrocopter, despite the fact that the drone costs a lot of money for its size class. You have to pay between 55 and 65 Euro for this model.

Technical data

The Propel Star Wars SW-1983-CX – 74-Z Speeder Bike Drone is small, handy and has some cool flying features.

The controller is equipped with several speakers and you can also connect a headset.

With other models of the Propel Star Wars series you can use infrared laser combat. A drone that has suffered 3 hits will land automatically and is considered defeated. So the price is quite justified, because such features are quite unique.

Size, design and weight

The design makes the hearts of Starwars fans beat much faster. The models of the manufacturer Propel are hand-painted and faithfully reproduced the Starwars figures.

Material processing and quality are of course very high, after all a permanent use should be guaranteed.

In the seat of the Propel Star Wars SW-1983-CX – 74-Z Speeder Bike Quadrocopter is the battery of the model.

All parts of the drone are very high quality and partly made of soft plastic. For example, the propellers are very flexible and give way when they touch an object, so they cannot break so easily.

Camera, memory and FPV live image transmission

Unfortunately the drone does not have a camera or FPV function. This model is a pure gadget drone!

There are rumors that a camera with integrated FPV will follow sometime, but we could not exactly check if this is true.

Battery and flight time

Included in delivery are a flight battery and a spare battery, both are rechargeable. The charging time is about 40 minutes, whereas the pure flight time is between 6 and 8 minutes. This is completely acceptable as the batteries are exchangeable and the charging capacity is about 90 percent after only 30 minutes.

How well does this drone fly?

You can either launch or land the Propel Star Wars SW-1983-CX – 74-Z Speeder Bike Drone via an automated launch and landing mechanism at the touch of a button.

Alternatively, you can start the quadrocopter in T-mode, where you have to move and control the model manually in the air.

Beside the T-mode there are 3 more flight modes, which are graded for different speed levels. You can fly with the Propel Star Wars SW-1983-CX – 74-Z Speeder Bike Quadrocopter maximum 50 kilometers per hour.
