Tell ya what. I have enjoyed every minute with my P2V+. I've had few issues, but nothing crazy. I don't regret the purchase. The boards have been very supportive. I look at it this way. Most of my "hobbies" cost me $50/hour.
At $1369, I'd need just over 27 hours of flight time alone (not including prep/video watching/editing, etc) to get down to $50 per hour.
At 15 minutes per flight (I push it hard, but come home early), I'd need 108 flights to get to 27 hours. I just passed 50 flights, so I'm about 1/2 way to getting my money's worth. I've been thoroughly entertained just about every non-rainy day since I got the **** thing a month ago.
If its still flyable and in its hanger at my workbench in another 58 flights, I'll be satisfied. Any more, and its all gravy.
Realistically speaking, if it lasts me a full 6 months, I would spend $1369 twice a year to have one of these things, they are that cool. I hope its around for years to come, but to be honest, I'll probably be purchasing the Phantom 3 Super Plus or whatever come next.
Take it slow, read up on the boards and the manuals, learn all the modes in a big field, and buy a locator so you can have some "closure" if there is a flyaway. Relax, and enjoy.
I just took a few flights today in Manual Mode. Oooof. Like riding a unicycle, but do-able. I'm going to practice some more on my son's Phantom FC40 (no expensive gimbal to break, cheaper to replace). I changed my s1 switch to go into manual mode so if I ever do experience a flyaway, I can get it off GPS and have a shot at taking back control (I hope). My GPS locator is on order.
