After a bit of a struggle to set this thing up, I took it in the backyard for a small trial. Things performed well during my small 10 minute flight. I live in a treed area so wanted to go to an open area to learn how to fly before daring trees.
I set up at the open area finding a message that a firmware update was needed. It did not say the firmware was critical. I d/l the firmware to the phone but I could not install it because the error msg said an aircraft connection was needed.
So I went home to try again at a place where it did once connect and fly ok. However, back at home I had the same non-result. I managed to find the 'Connect to Aircraft' entry in the menu system under Control. Pressing that instantly gives an error message that linking failed.
The drone's battery is fully charged and it's lit up as if ready for flight. The controller's four on lights are lit implying, I suppose, a fully charged battery there. I did charge both before leaving for the open area. Phone is an iPhone 12 SE.
I won't go into all the problems I had to get to this point. I'm at the end of my patience with this thing. Let me know if I should just send it back as a bad deal.
