I've had a couple of practice sessions and it's remarkably easy to fly plus it has so many programmable features it's mindboggling.


The fact that you can have it hover in a breeze and not move until you're ready to do something was very cool for me.

They're good up to force 5 apparently...

For a new user the fact that if you get yourself in a raffle you can just let go of the sticks and it'll hover in place is a lifesaver. The return to home feature is brilliant although I've only used it to see what it does and how it works so far. I was wondering why you got the RC N2 rather then the RC 2 controller with the fly more pack - then I saw the FPV goggles lol

Just be aware that a strong headwind on a return to home can slow the drone significantly and cause it to fall short if your battery's low

There is a good "Find My Drone" feature though Smile

I have bought myself some paracetamol for the extreme geekery headache brought about by the discussions you chaps are having about drones.

Well ... ok, so I might have actually *learnt* something about them ... but not much. I should probably watch one floating about and see just what all the fuss is about. Rolling Eyes

Is that what people do with them?
I genuinely never would have thought of that Laughing

Yeah that sounds like fun.
