Love it! 80 degrees, we get 6 weeks of that around here, maybe 2 months if we're lucky.If you're in Texas, bring swim trunks and beer. It's like 80 something degrees here- in the dead of winter.
Seriously though, pay attention to the wind direction, gusts and battery level. Failure to do so can be the end of your phantom flying days. The vision sensors don't like water, so stay way above it. Saltwater will kill your new toy, so keep it dry. I use my p3s for fishing a lot and the rules still apply. Plan your movements so that you are never directly over people, stay within line of sight and yield to manned aircraft. Helis and prop planes love to fly down the coastlines at low altitudes, so watch out for them.
A cool bonus over water is the range boost. You'll find you can go much farther, but you can only identify the orientation of the craft from so far away, so be safe. Try not to land or take off in sand. I carry a small piece of plywood for this. Double check everything before you leave,too. If you think you might need it, grab it.
Most of all- be safe, responsible and have fun!
