I'll probably look at it and touch it like the monkeies did in "2001" and then I'll open the box :shock:

They are right down the street from DJI Austin, TX and I have had great service so far dealing with Katie.
I'm so excited to start flying soon!!!

Preordered with dronefly. It's good to know my vision is in a container in its way here. This is my first phantom. Any advice on how to deal with the audience it creates and they 20 questions you get from everyone ? I already picture them looking up in wonder, like a ****** staring at a Ferris wheel. :idea:

Or the two Questions you will be asking yourself at some point ...... "why is it doing THAT?" "Well, ... what's it doing now"
I would go fly a new machine away from everybody so you can concentrate on what you're doing. No risk in slicing a bystander up or any witnesses to first crash. On the other hand In GPS mode they are all easy to fly. Had my 8 year old grandson checked out in about 3 minutes and by the time the flight was over he landed manually in the two foot circle I placed on the ground.

Fly with spotters if your around somewhere that could draw a crowd, I flew at a car show on the weekend, I had mostly kids trying to get my attention, my own rules while flying, I will not speak to anybody barring my spotter(s) and I let them deal with any questions etc that come thru. I might have looked like an ******* totally ignoring the kid that was literally tugging on my pants almost yelling "give me attention" (literally, his words) but I didn't cause any damage to any cars or people, that's my main priority once the motors are armed.
I seen a shirt I think somebody had made up, it was black with white writing, answering the 5 main questions on lookers would ask:
1. It a dji phantom
2. Its expensive
3. No, you can't have a shot
4. 500m+ range
5. Search YouTube
After last weekend, I'd almost consider getting one, would have saved my spotters some grief lol
