Welcome to the forum from Chicago the Windy City. The MM is small, one of the main cause of losing a MM are windy conditions. I have a app on my tablet that tells me wind conditions. With my MP, I don't fly when winds are over 10 miles per hour. Also, have a preflight check list, to make sure RC is fully charged, Ipad fully charged, battery's at full charge. Good to check After take off, I like to check all directions on both sticks carefully. Stability
Vertical/Horizontal. Satellites Green- SAFE TO FLY. And, very important what to do in a Emergency, what procedure to take to get your drone home safe. What to do if you lose satelite connection. As already mentioned do research, good to read manual, a book of instructions, which most of us save for later. Fly safe.
