Hi Guys,
Nice to get my first flight done, went out 6am to a local rural playing field. It was a bit windy 33ft 16mph with gusts at 30mph so I didnt take it above 15 ft just to play with the controls, land and all that. Bit of feedback and maybe a question or two (all relative to having never flown a drone before)
Was impressed. Still quite weird to be in charge of something flying even if it was only 30ft away.
It was fairly quiet, about 30ft away couldn't hardly hear it.
Quite stable in terms of position although it did pitch and yaw a bit trying to stay in position.
Faster going up, slower to come down. forward and back are pretty quick, all N mode.
Although OA was on and apparently active, the only time it moved out the way was when I put my hand underneath it. anywhere around the sides it didnt move (when its just hovering). So I guess if something is moving towards it and drones not moving, it doesnt move out the way?
Just used the bag that come with it, which was fine as long as I didnt squeeze the 3x battery charger thing in there too (one battery in drone, 2 loose in the bag. The biggest pain is fitting that stupid DJI prop guard, feels too tight like im gonna break something.
The RC2 controller is lovely (using sun shield too) still fits in the bag ok with that on and sticks still attached. might get the (eBay) rucksack though eventually instead.
I tried to watch the props close up to see how they altered to make it move / turn, I couldn't see any variation apart from spinning, I guess its only needs a tiny change for movement.
Great fun, look forward to next time with a bit less gusts.
