    I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings. (SW MO)

    Thank you! I will keep that in mind. I've mainly just been playing in attitude mode so far. I've logged about 5 hours since I received the thing. I deff focus on NOT freaking out and elevating when something goes awry then collect myself.

    Long time assessment by DJI

    I'm currently in the process in shipping mine off. I called last night and I was informed that once it got to their facility it would take up to 7 days in the repair center to assess it. He didn't say anything about repairing it. This is my third day as an owner.
