I think it will help bonding with the mavic first ( took me 2 flights to do this, some testing including RTH reliability. Bonding time should vary depending on owner AND mavic). RC wise i ve only flown heli ( yes also way above 400' ,nobody cared, and diving into insane speeds). Note: if you're no heli flyer don't comment on that please. Never-ever-ever lost orientation but also never thought id buy/use a drone.
I mean: who are we fooling. A "drone" is made for the main purpose of flying BEYOND LoS.
So flight no3 i took my little creep beyond that (around 1400m) and it felt awesome. The perfect cool down time between heli sessions. Since then im hooked. Been going out up to 5km (Europe, lower output) and looking to extend range now.
Flying heli any distance is impressive as heck; as a kid I would watch the RC helicopter pilots on Saturday morning and they would just launch to four feet and hover, then land and repeat, still very cool and entertaining. One time after landing the pilot leaned over and his prop cliped of the last foot of his RC antenna, some rather choice words I heard and still remember.
