Well, learned a few things. First, they are not that easy to fly especially if you
are a newbie like me. My mechanic wanted to take it out of the box and go
flying. I suggested we first read the directions, I know, spoil sport. After watching
youtube and DJI videos for a couple hours we called it a day. It has a return to
home feature if you loose contact but has no collision avoidance system like
the more expensive ones so you don't want to fly around trees or buildings.
It climbs at 15 feet per second so you can loose sight pretty quickly although it
is equipped with navigation lights. When you first launch it climbs to 5 feet and hovers
waiting for you to make your next mistake. Still don't know what the two 3 position
silver toggle switches are for. It can be flown using the included controller or a cell
phone or similar Android device. This gives you the HUD and all telemetry; speed,
altitude, heading, temperature, barometer and a few other things. Before you start
it is recommended you download the latest firmware upgrade, calibrate the compass,
IMU and camera. Keep you posted.
