Ordered my Phantom 2 Vision yesterday, it arrives tomorrow, obviously a bit excited, happy to find this forum too.
Obviously I am hoping for not a lot of wind, I plan to do all the quick start guide, firmwares (I think that is camera, Vision 2, Wifi extender and Transmitter!), look at it carefully and shake to check for rattles then make sure battery is charged, calibrate compass and try small flight to start, up and down, that sort of thing to learn controls. Have a Hubsan H101 4ch heli, expecting this to be much easier.
I'm planning to get some small road cones to mark take-off / landing areas since there are always people wherever I will be in the UK, I will stay far away from them but even I get 50m from another soul to take-off a dog would run over within a few minutes followed by owners etc. Any other tips to deal with overly curious onlookers with no sense of self preservation, other than as politely as possible (and my plan of road cones + "danger" tape)?
Or others for first flight - I'll need to buy a Micro SD I think. I've browsed here so seen things like somebody's suggested maintenance / monitoring checklists, some ideas of things to look out for
Can't wait to take pics
