Hello All! My amazing wife got me the Mavic Air 2 this week for my birthday. What a surprise! I haven't flown a drone since my destruction (in a tree) of an old Parrot drone back in 2012. Technology sure has changed! So, now I just finished the FAA recreational registration and I'm reading and viewing everything I can. Looking forward to my first flight!
Great to be part of this Forum!

READ THE MANUAL...TWICE.

Pretend sport mode doesn't exist. Set your RTH and APAS before flight!

Enjoy your new addiction!

Welcome back to the hobby Bob! You (your wife) picked an awesome drone. I have the Mini, the Mavic 2 Pro, the Phantom 3 Pro and the Air 2 and my Air 2 gets flown way more than the others!

Thanks for the welcome and replies! This is definitely a friendly place to be. I’m taking baby steps with this.

Let me also welcome a fellow Floridian (Miami-Coral Gables). It's pretty hot and humid to fly here now but if you get out early or late, it's worth it.

Welcome (BACK) Bob!
Good advice from itsneedtokno above.
Drone technology has changed - but Tree destructology hasn't (as I learned too quickly when RTH engaged whilst I was fooling around under a big GumTree .....AND ......the only significant one in the paddock!).
The worst part, believe me - was trying to explain it to the now not so 'silent partner' in the drone acquisition.
Safe flying mate...from Down Under.

Good point! I’ll remember RTH and trees don’t mix well!
