Being new to this hobby I've only been flying for a week now with overall good results.
I haven't crashed hard yet although I DID hit a tall weed accidentally when my RC fixed wing training caused me to pull back stick to rise....And, naturally, opposite effect....oops...
After flying perhaps 5 flights total now I'm discovering items that I would like to add and I'm counting on 'seasoned' pilots recommendations to help me purchase the right things.
#1 I'm still using my cell phone with the controller.
Although it has a fairly bright screen it's still tough to see in bright sunlight. I'd really enjoy adding a 'hood' to make it easier to view. I'd love to get YOUR thoughts on what you think is best to buy?
#2 Strobe light addition
I found out that the grey color and small size of the 'mini' that I am flying makes it easy to lose sight of it if I look down to the monitor, and then back into the sky.
I'd love to know about a GOOD light weight stick on strobe recommendation that would help me find it quickly again.
So....5 flights and 2 questions so far....I'm sure that I'll have more questions as they arise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. I'm also new to navigating 'forum' web pages too.
My questions could be redundant and already answered elsewhere but I'll apologize for my ignorance....
