Very disappointed about the AR Drone 2.0 software. After updating the firmware on my AR Drone (Version 1) and upgrading to the 2.0 Flight software, I experienced a lot of strange behavior from my AR Drone. I've got hours and hours of flight time on my drone, and am very comfortable flying it in the past with the old software, but I had a lot of disconnects, where the drone flew off into oblivion, and wonky behavior. Earlier this day, the drone disconnected, flew about a quarter of a mile away from me, and crashed in some woods. Luckily I was able to track it down using the wifi signal it was putting off and my iPad, but still. Not happy.

Now I'm in the process of ordering replacement parts for the drone. :(
