As I stated in an earlier thread I puchased my P4 this morning at the apple store and flow it for the first time just a little while ago.
Let me start with I am terible at anything that requires a joystick. Flight simulators, racing games, the old atari brick game. The fact that this has 2 joysticks terified me. And with all that said...this thing is awesome. I was able to take off, land and fly all around with out crashing and this is my first time ever doing this. I have a long way to go but with the built in safty features that this has I will be able to learn with confidence.
Well the battery has finnished charging so I am off for another 28 minutes or so of learning.
Welcome to the club. Looks like a challenging place to fly. Even with obstacle avoidance, may I suggest you find a more open area to practice until you get you skills up. Would be a bummer to find out the limits of obstacle avoidance already.
Have fun.
Enjoy it, they're brilliant machines when everything's working. But please, make sure you understand how it works & what happens if you get low on battery or lose GPS. Both scenarios can quickly bring disaster when flying around or among trees. I wouldn't want you enjoyment to end prematurely.
