Well I have under taken 2 flights both about 15 mins in length to just try it out.
Flight 1 - shot about 9 mins of video, tried the different functions didn't take it much more than 75 feet in the air and kept within about a 300 foot radius. Tried Course lock mode but didn't realize I had to initiate the heading before start up so I quickly realized that it wasn't orientated the right way so I put it back in standard GPS mode. I did like Atti mode. The other thing is I was flying it and at 19% power it just took off high, I was able to get it down but I thought it was flying off! After I got home I realized I had the RTH set at battery <20% and I am sure it was flying back to my home position. After getting home I disabled that!
Flight 2 - Shot some stills, got CL mode figured out and just did some general flying and video of my son run around a field. Overall very impressed with the stability and video footage. Wish it was summer here in the NE. Going to try GS next and see if I can get it to fly a recon mission around the neighborhood. Maybe go try a empty field first!
