Not in MA either :(

Today would be the day for a Tello :) Plus I have 2 new kittens that would love to see how high they can jump and bat it out of the air. I would be concerned for high vet bills though, lol. And I might get reported to the MSPCA if they got hit by a prop in an eye. So maybe not with those 2...

T Thanks Mike, I did forego the Holystone. But I read many mixed reviews re: Tello. Are you using Tello with a controller? I may be tempted to go Tello before I break out the full on Mavic. Just a bit anxious after seeing the little E58 being so quick to get out of control.....If it was my...

Ok, so basically there is very little comparison. I'll start reading up on the Mavic, and also watch some youtube vids on it (good to watch while falling asleep :) When I do get brave enough to start with my Mavic, I'll be in a much larger field. Did I hear someone here earlier talking about a...

So kind of like driving a 20 year old Miata compared to a 2018 Corvette??

Thanks Mike, that was thing I learned real quick....small intermittent stick moves. I just saw a Holystone or Graystone? on sale at Amazon for cheap ($179). Wonder if it would be a good second step before the full on MP??

I finally got to try my cheap "toy" drone today. I do hope the MP flies much better!! A good thing I flew R/C as a kid, because steering into the dip (for wings) was a valuble lesson :) as this little E58 had a mind of it's own, plus a bit of wind, and a small yard....First thing I thought was I...

Thanks everyone. I actually sent back one from Amazon, and got one with 3 batteries on Ebay for only $62. It took me a while to figure out how the heck to get battery out of E58. They must make these for pennies, so I don't expect much from instructions. Good ole Youtube will have stuff. Nice...

This sounds like a "smarter" way to go since I am totally new to drones. Worst case scenario is I crash it. Better to lose $75, rather than a $1000. And the instability will help me sharpen my skills, well maybe :) Sincerely, thank you, LT

Thanks guys. I had just enough in my Amazon gift card balance to get the E58 for .07 cents :) Perfect!!! It looks like the Mavic had a little brother. Absolutely perfect, you guys are the best. So glad I joined this forum!! I really do appreciate the privilege of your time and knowledge :) Larry T.

Wow, thanks!!

Hi folks, I just got all my goodies to start using my Mavic pro soon. It took a while to get it, and to replace the supplied defective battery. Now that I am ready to go, well it is way to windy and cold to try to learn with an expensive drone. Any suggestions on a cheap "toy' drone so I can get...

So do I need a flight physical? I do recall my first flight physical by Dr. Rymzo when I was 23. Just could not figure why he was checking my prostate at 23? Like what has that got to do with flying an airplane??? And yes, his real name was Dr, Rymzo. LOL. Maybe I can find the offices of Dr...

back in the 80's when I was learning to fly, I remember all of those. I had 2 close encounters with bizjets in KYHA, and that stopped my plans. Did solo at 9 hours, and it was fun, but a G5 swooping down in front of a 152 is scary. Never mind the turbulence. My second T&G on first solo was my...

Thank you. After seeing many responses, and thank you everyone for your time to help me, I do believe I was over reacting perhaps. Now that the weather here has turned super cold, I may not be training until Spring?
