Hi guys. I'm new to the drone thing and thought I might pass along some of my experience.
I've actually I have a lot of experience operating radio controlled cars, boats and planes. Not the $20 toys but fairly sophisticated models.
While learning to fly the P4, I had a couple of minor incidents resulting in very hard landing or minor crashes. Lucky for me the damage was limited to Propeller's. This forum was very helpful in diagnosing my errors. I learned that my problems were related to firmware updates. I wasn't doing them in the correct order or not updating the drone itself. After correcting the updates, i've had no problem flying.
I have now moved on to getting the most out of my camera. I'm not a photographer but I am learning.
My next real challenge is that I would like to fly over water. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, any maintenance tips would be helpful.
Thanks in advance for advice.
