I think the biggest challenge will be touching the controls for the first time (even tho i'll use the simulator to get me practicing).
I heard a hard part was controlling the drone when the camera is facing you, so the controls are opposite to fly it. That's my biggest concern.
First time, go in an open area, take off and go over your head, let it hover sometime and take your time to go through the app. Before take off make sure your RTH's parameters are fine. When you're good with the basic interface of the app, try to fly with the drone facing forward, then continue as you feel.
I've flew RC planes, so I was kind of used to the reverse command, but if after a lot of fly you're still not confident, consider buying a cheap drone to practice.
And after some time, when you start to make pictures you will notice that you mostly pilot with the screen, so the reverse operation is used only when I come to land for me. And even that you can do it facing forward, the magic of quadcopters hehe
And do not forget. If at any time while practicing you feel like you don't control it, do NOT try to correct it, especially if it's facing you. Just release everything, you can press pause button if you are in a specific fly mode. |
