It was tempting to go out and probably crash it today, but I spent the day charging batteries, getting my phone to stubbornly work with the controller, updating firmware (it would not do it with the Go4 app...so downloaded the assistant program and gotter done). I also downloaded the manual in a PDF file on my laptop so my weak old eyes could actually read it and watched a dozen or two videos and tutorials.
I did make two very short flights...well liftoffs actually...indoors. I just used the auto take off, spun it around a few times and landed. I just had to see it get off the ground.
Tomorrow I'll do some low level flights in my yard to get comfortable with the controller and play with a few of the flight features. Then I can finally concentrate on the camera.
This does have a rather steep learning curve but I'll take it slow, step by step. Hopefully in a few days I'll be ready to take her out for a real flight.
I have one month to get reasonably good at this because I am going to the Dominican Republic to a rather wild and beautiful area full of jungles and waterfalls in order to visit a mine that produces a fairly rare gemstone.
It will be a challenge, but well worth it!
