Quick background:
I'm in my late 50's with a little more leisure time these days. I've been a Fixed Wing RC Pilot for over 30 years. I've been wanting to move into Multi-Rotor for a while. I finally decided to make the move with the release of the Mavic last fall. I lurked in forums, watched hundreds of videos over and over. Watched the guys in my local club fly their Quads. Asked hundreds of questions, and used a Sim.
I finally ordered, and my Mavic came last week. Flew for the first time yesterday after upgrading the firmware to .700 (no problems.) What a fantastic machine. I stayed in visual and below 100' practicing getting used to the roll and yaw control in turning. I'm looking forward to many, many more, along with making videos.
I want to thank everyone in this form. I plan to be a regular contributor eventually.
Have a great day. ; )
