[Chris88]

Hello everyone, first-time drone pilot. I bought a Mavic Air 2 combo yesterday. Now it's time to try to fly it. Any tips are tricks let me know.
Thanks, Chris

Welcome to the forum! An early tip I learned was to do a forum search before posing a question. This kept me from asking the same question for the umpteenth time in the forum, when others have already asked the same question.

Safe flying to you in the Bayou State!

Thanks

Yes, I like to search before I post.

Although a first time drone pilot, I now see you’ve been a forum member since before the Mavic 2 launch date, and long before I even considered the hobby. Glad you’ve stayed with us, and took the plunge!

After doing a lot of searching and reading in this forum I decided to get the air 2. One of the biggest things I had a problem with was not knowing where to fly. I did not want to get in trouble with the law. Now with the LAANC and the apps it seems better. I will be flying as a recreational pilot for now and will eventually get the 107.

Welcome home, from beautiful New Smyrna Beach!

Check APAS and RTH before flight!

Pretend Sport Mode doesn't exist.

Enjoy your new addiction!


Take your time getting used to the controls, but with practice, you too can make videos like this one!
