Yes, I can see your point.
So if the idea was to learn how to fly unaided by GPS signals (which is not my purpose here), ideally one would purchase a very cheap drone for that purpose alone while sticking to a Mavic-type drone for aerial photography and such.

Your might be interested in a Thread I started today.  Out of my concerns of drone suffering a problem that kicks it into ATTI mode, and having to take full human control.

? Cheapest drone to practice ATTI mode with ?

Boss, you've gotten some good advice from your fellow pilots here.  Sorry you had to learn the hard way.  Believe me, I understand.  Glad you have a good attitude about it.  Hopefully you'll be able to get back in the air soon.

Were you able to recover the aircraft, or is it still in the tree?

Sadly it is still in the trees, a good 150 feet up or more and got doused in heavy rains the day following the crash just to add insult to injury.

Hey Boss,
The program I use is Bud Walker's CSVview.

It is very good once you get your head around what traces you actually need to display.
