My Name is John L and new to the "Real" quad copter flying. My area of ops will be at Losco park, exact date TBD. Demolished one turnigy microcopter and realized I needed a better aircraft.
Purchased the Phantom 3 Standard at the local Walmart and ground tested the equipment as best I could in the house (props not installed). The DJI-Go app loaded fine on a iPhone 5s, iPad2, and a Android but the Android kept dropping WiFi connectivity. (Huazza for ground checks).
Will fly using the iPhone or iPad... after my wife lets me open it as a present after Christmas.
I am hoping to use the P3S for hobby flying, waypoints, POI, and (simulated) photo missions. I think 2D and 3D mapping will be interesting too.
A friend shoots friends events on the side so I might pursue the FAA cert (might be like chasing gooses but gotta have plans).
Received a Chinese 3rd party, unused P3 battery (no cost to me) that might work. Not sure if its even worth testing (risking).
