Hello Guys,

Its been a week since I took delivery of my Phantom advanced and loving every bit, although it is nerve-wracking when its high up in the sky. Intended to buy a standard but got a sweet 25% off on Amazon, so ended up with the advanced instead. Thanks to this forum, I placed an order for a backpack and next on my list is a car charger and possibly, a warranty.
Will be lurking around here when I am not flying!

Thanks!

Welcome to the club! I got my P3P not long ago and I was terrified at only 50 feet off the ground. Now I cruise up to 400 feet and don't even break a sweat. Once you see how well these things handle and you have GPS lock it almost flies itself.

Thank you!
First 3 days, all I did was hover at 4 feet and just stare at the **** thing. This weekend, I went to an open area and flew it to 400 feet without any sweat.
Off topic question, do you guys use propeller guards? I searched and found mixed responses.
