I had not flown a quad before my Vision+ arrived. I am thrown back at how easy it is to fly. As long as you have 7 or more satellites. This is key. Once you drop below that you are susceptible to wind drift, and that's when being an expert flyer may be needed. Especially when flying nose in (all controls are reversed). My recommendation, start out in a huge field, far from trees and buildings. Run through the pilot training manual and get all of the techniques down. Once you do that and become comfortable with the sticks you can take it in closer to trees and buildings... with 7+ satellites!
Another huge helper for me is switching to NAZA-M mode in the software assistant. Just make sure to make the S1 down position "FailSafe" and not "manual". I can not stress how great the IOC modes are on S2. Especially Home Lock. And having the S1 option for FailSafe will come in handy at some point I am sure.
Also, hand catch the landings. The legs are not broad enough to prevent a tip over even after a successful landing, which will damage your props. But with a gentle stick a hand catch is not difficult, although a bit sketchy as far as personal injury is concerned.
Other than that, go to youtube, watch EVERY video you can on Vortex Ring State, Prop Wash, IOC, and anything about the Vision+. There are literally hundreds of videos, maybe thousands. Be very careful descending, and always use rudder while coming down. Avoid a straight down descent at all costs, especially if using prop guards.
These are, of course, my opinions and I am in no way an expert. Sorry for the length of this. But I was just learning all of this myself and know how important all of this is. We're here to help each other, so don't hesitate to reach out with any other questions.
Can't wait to see your images. Good luck! |
