Micro drones are becoming more popular in many areas, because they are small and fast enough to fly in tight and complex spaces. But they still have some significant problems. Their batteries drain fast, they cannot carry much weight, and their sensors and computers are limited. These problems affect their flying performance and stability, which is very important for their missions. In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of mini drones in indoor environments. During hovering, the drones showed an average deviation of 77.9 cm, with a standard deviation of 26.4 cm, indicating moderate stability while stationary. In simple forward flights over 3 m, the average deviation increased to 92.6 cm, which showed slight drop in accuracy during movement. For more complex flight paths, such as L-shaped and square trajectories, the deviations increased to 141 cm and 245 cm, respectively.
