Just getting started

[Cyngen]

Hi,
Just got my Phantom 4 Pro v2.0 a week ago *last friday*. Read the manuals, did my due diligence, registered it with the FAA and all the good things.

For the moment, I'm in the hobbyist area, but am studying to get the 107 in the next few month.

I and my wife are fortunate to live in the middle of the country so there is lots of room to fly and explore without issue or annoying a neighbor thinking I'm spying.

Looking to learn a lot here, and in time, contribute too.

@Cyngen,
Welcome to the Forum!

"without issue or annoying a neighbor thinking I'm spying"
Are you kidding.

That is why I bought one, my Therapist said by a flying spy camera instead of paint gun.

I think i like your therapist!! I did find that there is a significant bug population up at 50 feet or more around here, I believe one commited suicide into a sensor, that will need cleaning tonight yet

Rod, I have not been to the EAA fly in. I am not a fan of overly huge crowds of people. Hence I live in the northwoods. I might have to go someday, for I do love the old warbirds.

 

[Cyngen]

I know this is just an intro, but can insects trigger the proximity sensors? Last night one of them at times would trigger for under a second, i suspected insects. I cleaned them all last night as well as the props

 

[RodPad]

Don't know about the sensors, the P4 is much newer than what I have.

Yeah, gotcha on the crowds, we have a museum here in our small town. My dad donates to it and volunteers a lot.

If this link works, my dad is on the left of the family owned model T.
WAAAM
If not here is the photo from that page.

This is the first year that he has been able to take there motor home, not the one in the picture.
A few years ago I said I would go, don't know why but my mom Betty would not let him go.

This year It was a go, until we realized that a key employee was retiring just before we were to leave, she had been with us for 20 years. You would think that you and your wife owns a business you could get some time off, but its Retail.

Anyways, here is an email from my dad from May.

"Betty approved last night. Taking the Beaver with 2 more drivers. Convoy of 7 Motor homes. I think we will all have trailers. I will be hauling one of the 4 WWII training gliders that we have been invited (requested) to bring for show and tell. Heard some of our military stuff was going too. We will have 27 people manning our display in Oshkosh.



Leave Hood River July 18. Arrive Oshkosh Saturday and set on Sunday. Stay till the following Sunday, break camp and arrive back in HR around 3 August. Gliders will be on display in the Warbirds section of the airshow.



WAAAM is big time."

"I'm going to be 89 feet long going down the highway.

Russ"

I know the Beaver Motor Home is 40' and they tow an Explorer 20'
So I guess the wings would equal 50' I really don't know.
I guess I will ask him.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome. I've got 10 days now under my belt. Still mostly playing in beginner mode, working with the controls on the screen and RC . . tons to learn but having a blast doing so.
