It's one thing to read the manual and it's another to learn the manual. I can say that I'm not fortunate enough to retain all of the information from reading the manual one or two times. Now, I've never crashed any of my Phantoms 1, 2, or 3 (yet), but I have made mistakes, and I've learned from those. I make sure I learn the basic functions of what to do in an emergency and that becomes routine until I learn it. All of us are very different, personality wise, and I'm not the one to read the manual over and over until I learn everything about it. Don't think because you've read the manual, you are now master. Speaking of not read the manual, I'm still trying to figure out if there is a Home Link. I went through all my settings and can't find it, I know it's there, so I guess I will have to dig some more through the manual. I'm sure if I asked on this forum, many would just say RTFM! hahaha.
