Welcome to the forum from Chicago the Windy City.
Please read your manual, understand how RTH works, because its the most complex
feature of a DJI drone. Check the wind, the MM is very light weight, and wind can carry it away, where it may be difficult to find. Also, enable find my drone, in the event its does get swept away by the wind. So, you can find it. Have fun, stay safe.

Welcome to our forum, from Hauptmann, in Texas!

You'll find that the Mini almost flies itself. This can lead to overconfidence. Try to be conservative at first, and expand your horizons gradually. The Mini, at only 249 grams, doesn't handle wind as well as the heavier drones do. On windy days--you get those in Iowa (and I don't mean just Derechos)--it's best to fly the Mini so that you have a tail wind on the way back.

Read your manual, and practice using "Find My Drone". Chances are you'll crash and perhaps lose your drone. Don't wait 'til that happens to try to learn under stress in less than ideal conditions. We have several fellow Iowans among our membership, and over 120,000 more from around the world who will help you learn your new hobby. Ask for help when you need it. Share your work when you can!

Glad you've joined us!
