Been reading up on the phantom for about 6 weeks and decided to pull the trigger. So... for all the people sitting on the fence... I would say DO IT.... it's the best out of the box experience I've had with any product.
It is probably the easiest Quad I have flown. I did purchase a cheapo quad prior so I could learn how to fly manual.... that was a pain and difficult to control... but it was worth gaining those skills.
I simply put the quad together, did the calibration dance....Did NOT upgrade or fiddle with the software.... waited for blinking green and it flew like a magic carpet.. stable and tight.
Next steps.... learn to fly and become proficient at atti mode. I do not want to become dependent on GPS mode.
I can already feel the slippery slope pulling me in... FPV next.... f550. ...s800...
