I'm also new.
My first 'flight was 9ft up and back down, I have the video it's boring
. Second flight was 4 mins and maybe 900ft distance. After those tests I felt more comfortable and went up 300ft and played a bit more. My first 15 flights were no more than 10 mins long and all included some type of test I wanted to try.
RTH I fully tested (except OA which will be unexpected when it happens) so I fully understand how it works. I tried it close, nothing happened as expected. I tried RTH height to 150ft and initiated RTH from 30ft AGL, it went up then home and then down/landed as expected. I tried it from 200t AGL and it came home at that height and then landed, as expected. I believe I know how it works since I saw it happen, I'm comfortable with RTH although have yet to see what happens with signal loss OA etc. I'm kinda scared to deliberately test those failsafe features but I'm sure they will happen at some point. When they do I know what to expect and look for.
I also loaded up litchi and so far have only used pano automation, very cool feature.
My next steps will be trying A mode before the other automate Go4 features like active track etc. Slow and steady, I don't want a wife unit conversation about 100s bits of broken plastic and electronics right now
. Bad time of the year for me, it's darn cold here in Colorado and I want to fly
