Trust me, there is no offense intended here, but If I were you, I'd reign in my horses quite a bit and put the Mavic away until you DO read the manuals. If you don't know basic stick control God only knows what else you are missing out on that could end up hurting you or someone else, which is unacceptable in the drone pilot responsibility department.
Even though it is being massed produced, marketed well, and has obviously developed quite a large following, the Mavic is NOT a toy. It is a serious UAV aircraft that MUST be taken seriously. Part of the social contract you accept as a drone pilot is ensuring others that you know how to handle your aircraft and will not put others in peril. I mean, if you want to hurt yourself the FAA may not have much to say about it. But if you hurt others, they just might. I'm sure the lawyers involved certainly would.
I know getting your Mavic out and up there is very tempting and that DJI has made it appear incredibly user friendly - which it is - but until you thoroughly digest the manuals, view as many of the available worthwhile videos that you can that are out there about the Mavic, and are able to at least know the answers to very basic questions like "how do I turn it off?", then I'd strongly suggest a shift in your paradigm and start over properly from scratch. You and your Mavic will appreciate it later.
There's always time to fly. But there's not always money laying around to re-buy. Worse yet, it's always too late - and never leaves you with a good feeling - to have to say "I'm sorry" after any accident has injured another person through pure negligence of your own. And if you're like me, it's a feeling you want to avoid. Take the time and know the materials you need to. Just a very strong suggestion to you.
