You'll get over it, but it's a gradual process. I was exactly like you, and still am somewhat. I started flying my Spark outside this week after owning it for a month. All the horror stories were front and centre in my mind, and it was with more than a little trepidation that I tapped the take-off button for the first time. There's a reason for the "chicken" in my username.
After a few flights, I've maxed out at a hundred yards distance and 30 metres in altitude. That's peanuts for the big boys around here, but last week I couldn't have done even that. Now, I'm no longer so nervous flying around my yard like I was at first. I'm going keep letting out the leash a little longer so that by spring, I'll feel comfortable enough to fly it the way it's intended. Hell, I might eventually send the first drone into orbit!
Bottom line, it's just a matter of overcoming your fear, and you can only do that by flying it and learning to get comfortable with it. Best of luck. It will be worth it. |
