i got my p4 as a present for Christmas. Never flew a drone before, and there i was: first time setup and takeoff. what impressed me was the quality in everything: hardware and software. I expected to face sooner or later the anguish of finding a "work in progress" or "feature present as demo to expose the potential". Nothing of the kind.
I did crash twice. there are no hard feelings towards the manufacturer or even towards myself. I take every flight with the precautions and learning from previous ones, but also with excitement and joy.
WindSoul:
I appreciate hearing your origins story. Glad the P4 is growing on you. Information is important. Not sure if you signed on to the other thread, so I'll ask: What's the origin story behind your chosen moniker: WindSoul?
I bought my P4, after 3 weeks intensive research, back in September. Never flew anything but paper, balls, frisbees and Microsoft Flight Simulator prior. And one kite, at the urging of an ex. I haven't been disappointed so far, but I did do many sorties in simulation, and resisted the urge to fly indoors, before my maiden flight, about 2 weeks after it arrived. I also rehearsed certain maneuvers in the simulator, and practiced Intelligent modes, RTHs and CSCs.
I almost crashed once, doing a strafing run, late pulling up. Learning is important. So is gulping.
The excitement and joy is a blessing. Combined with the truly fulfilling art of photovideography.
Fun is important. It can only get better.
Keep Smiling,
Augustus |
