Avoid my mistakes. I have 66 hours now in 2 months. My early crashes could have been avoided. 1) RTH....you're out flying around....RTH is set to return at predetermined altitude. You fly you bird in for selfie....sitting under a tree by campfire in winter....no leaves on tree....RTH kicks in....bird goes up....hits tree ....bam 2) RTH kicks in .....you decide to fly more and cancelled....happy hunting.....it will land right where it is ....in tree, power line, or lake ....it is going to land. 3) Launching from raised platform. Unless it's 20x20 or bigger....you can't trust a perfect landing every time. To the credit of DJI 99% of the time mine lands within 3-6 inches of launch point. The 1% from raised platform will be a crash if you get spoiled to eyes off trust. Just sharing my 3 lessons.
