It is so easy to fly you'll want to be careful not to become over confident. I've had mine for a month and launched it on Thanksgiving day to show some friends. Immediately after launch The app reported a compass error and loss of GPS, the wind got ahold and blew it into a tree and it crashed to rocks 20 feet below. Some minor damage and broken props but with new props it still flies great. RTH is also very handy as I've flown out of range numerous times without worry. Just be careful because it has landed 12 feet away from the launch point which would be bad news on the boat dock. after the crash I too decided to order the carbon fiber gimbal guard.
