It's very windy here right now and I wasn't going to fly, but my wife wanted to see it and told me to stop being such a nancy ? and to fire it up. I did. Wow, now I understand why so many people love this Drone. Really the plan was to just hover a few feet above the landing pad, but it was so smooth and has so much more power than the mini I couldn't help but fly a few circuits, buttery smooth. Then I had my first negative encounter with a bird who flew by very close and then flew back and swooped down on me without touching. I landed and waited for a while then flew for a few more minutes and quit while I was ahead. Glad I have refresh!
