With a 3S 5300mAh battery and improved prop design, flying time lasts to up to 25 minutes. The AP9 regularly retails for $449.99 and can be purchased online from DICK'S Sporting Goods at http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=78214066

The AP9 features a state-of-the-art "return to home" option.  With the GPS properly calibrated before each flight, the drone will automatically fly back to a pre-determined point if contact with the transmitter is ever lost or if the drone is low on battery. The AP9 also features 500m remote distance capable of a flying range over 1500 feet.

"Through the massive retail and online footprint of DICK'S Sporting Goods, we are excited to be partnering with the largest sporting goods retailer in the U.S.," says Brian Chacone, Director of Sales and Marketing for AEE Technology Inc.
