So I wanted to update everyone on my Amazon adventure. At first, Amazon wouldn't help, as it was sold 'through' Amazon by a Marketplace vendor. This was all done through an Amazon email alias, but was finally provided a return shipping label two days later, asking me to put everything in a larger box so they could inspect the damages. I obliged and was to wait 3-5 days until I got my response.
At the end of the 4th day, after UPS showed they received the package, I emailed again, provided the tracking number. The only response I received was "..you need to wait 3-5 days from time of receipt". At lunch time on the 5th day I emailed again, requesting confirmation of the return of my funds by EOB...but received nothing. I called Amazon that evening and had to speak to a group who handles returns of "over $1000", and they were more than willing to assist, wishing me a belated birthday, reminding me of what a great Prime customer I was, and even extended my Prime subscription for the trouble. They provided the credit and I went to Best Buy that night and picked up the Fly More package.
Thus far I've kept myself in Beginner Mode in the back yard, crashing once and chipping a prop, which I quickly replaced. I've even made myself a 2'x2' landing pad from some 3/8" plywood. So much to learn, so many options, and I'm loving it.
I hope to be a regular here and thanks for all of the warm welcomes.
