I guess I will be the only one to state the obvious! Not a smart move! Buying a drone without a controller, not even asking the seller the basic questions, not asking to see the drone fly, not doing any research whatsoever? I could go on and on. come on! I don't think you should do anything until you but a controller and do some research on this.

Dale your such a BUZZ KILL he guy wants to fly lets help him out. if it works great for him if not he'll find another way. give him a break instead of Knocking him down. Gessh
Thank you for your opinion
I bought it cause I want to learn
My prerogative
Thank you for your time
Also not going to do anything until massive research and fully completed all training and also find a person in person to help me
Also registered faa
We all got started somehow
I will be responsible I assure you
Bless youAt some point in our lives, we're all uninformed of things when we're new to them, so don't feel bad.
You will learn much here.
As I said, I will be the only one to state the obvious. I doubt prayer will help either. The fact that an individual would buy such a potent device with no clue whatsoever is scary. And I did state, "I don't think you should do anything until you buy a controller and do some research on this."
Dale
I totally agree with you
I do realize the importance and power of such advice
I won’t be asking stupid questions again on your forum
Thank you
You know remotes for your Drone ( RC-N1 ) are dirt cheap on Ebay around 45-60 Bucks I would grab one of those and then you can see if the Drone will work at all. The Air2S and Air 2 have the advantage of using the cheapest Batteries DJI Makes for a Drone that size. You can get re-furbs on ebay also with very few cycles used for around 50 bucks ( each of your Batteries will give you around 200 cycles IF you treat it properly). A Battery in a Drone at a garage sale is probably long gone.
Now worst case and you do all this and the Drone won't fly- Come back to the forum and we will try to help.
What did you pay for the Drone? cause the gimbals alone for parts will net you around 200. thats if it never flys ( Just thinkin ahead).

You can also utilize the “ignore” button and not have to look at posts that really shouldn’t be there anyway. Easy to do. Click on their name, then click the “ignore” button.
Be safe and have fun!

You aren't the only one, just the only one with no tact andnho help.
Those thoughts were covered back in post #4 (five hours before you blundered into the thread.

I don't think Dale's advice was intended as criticism.
My observation is that many newcomers to the hobby are willing to fork out not insignificant money without researching beforehand, or they purchase a drone and do not read the manual or get the manual from the Internet to read.
These forums have a wealth of information for newcomers but can be intimidating to search/wade through.
Many new forum posters mistakenly assume drones are simple to use, like turning on the new TV, never mind the cabling if you want to hook up more devices.
I had a P2V and later bought an M2P....I spent many hours reading the manuals and following discussions to ensure a happy introduction to my drones.
Hey
Thank you for making me feel better after being immediately chastised by Dale on my new owner thread
Update
I bought battery, and charger
Guess what, after charging drone and battery the drone turns on all lights work and motor nice smooth sound!
It ordered my controller cord to phone gamble protector and led landing gear and light on top yesterday for 130 dollars approximately, some used product and some of it new
I am sooo excited!
