I've played a ton with the drones and have gotten fairly proficient with them.
The scout drones, I've found, are great if you either fly it very high or very low. Most tend to fly it from eye level to just above eye level so that a person can spot them easily without panning up or down. One other thing, when flying hug something. Hug the ground, hug a wall or hug any debris in the area - they can be a bitch to pick up visually if you use the correctly.
I typically fly either very high, or hug the ground and most people don't have a clue they are there until they are dead. Very effective sniper hunting technique!
The tiger claw attach drone is nasty to learn because of the relative ineffectiveness of it's rockets, but I've found the dive-bombing a target or sweeping from the ground works effectively at taking down threats.
A couple of the biggest things about using any drones is hide yourself (as Santa stated) and don't forget to use cover for your drones - fly them in and out of buildings, under things, land them on anything available, etc. Cover for you and the drones is very important.
