Hello from Bear River (just north of Evanston). I'm am old man (83) and have never flown a drone before, the Mavic is so easy to fly that even I can have a lot of fun with it. I found Charlie Browns "kite eating tree" about 7 minutes into my first flight using controller in beginner mode. Fortunately it was low enough for me to reach, no damage beyond wiping out all 4 props. I couldn't get my phone to work with it, but fortunately I found this site, and after doing much reading, bought a ipad mini 4, and problem solved! What a great site this is, more info per square inch than I could have imagined. Thanks to all the good people here for all the info they are willing to share.
