    How many people fly with Prop Guards?

    I have a set for my P3P, never have used them because of the statements made in the other posts.

    How many people went straight to DJI instead of smaller drones first?

    I went from nothing straight to a P3P. I have a pilot's license and a good bit of common sense. The common sense was applied, the pilot's license didn't add much value other than I have been up in the air before. I too am not fond of wasting money, so I have been fairly cautious with mine...

    Wind: How much is too much for you?

    I have flown in 23-24 mph winds with no problem, but I'm not trying to thread a needle with the aircraft either. Wide open space and no problem. Want to catch the craft when coming home vs. landing it.

    Can't start drone props with custom joystick setting

    Same for me. I left the left side controller the same (push forward, go up) but changed the right controller so that it would make "coordinated" turns with one stick, which allows me to get to altitude and then fly without touching the left stick. Setting it up this way, my bird still started...
