My first flight was today. 3 flights done at the RC club near by Abu Dhabi. it was very windy, around 15km/h. first 2 flights in beginner mode, third flight was normal mode and reached 130mts high. all 3 landings were automatic, due the strong wind I preferred leaving the mavic doing the autolanding on its own. before flying my mavic I did fly my old phantom 2, the wind was so strong that it was pushed to the ground twice forcing me to land and on both cases it flipped over with no damage at all, but mavic was much more stable flying on the strong wind.
