I got my P3s for Christmas. My first drone was much simpler and more basic. I don't need where to fly or not to fly advice. I want to fly over some wooded areas that border my property. Since it will be my first flight out of beginner mode I'd like recommendations on things to watch out for. Here is what I've already considered.
1. Compass calibration, just to be sure.
2. I will do my normal brief preflight. Maybe I should be more in depth out of beginner mode. I've read the manual and preflight threads and stuck with a basic check list.
3. I plan to do a visual vertical check to make sure I'll safely clear tree tops.
4. I'll keep it in sight.
5. I plant to use the return home feature I need to re-read the altitude section of the manual but I think 200 ft. is a safe max altitude, yes? Our terrain is very flat.
One thing that has been challenging for me is the sun. I tend to fly around 5 or 6 pm which may be my issue. The sun washes out the highest brightness setting on my Samsung S6 and makes it difficult to keep a visual on the copter. Lot's to still learn! Please fell free to offer recommendations. I admit to some apprehension.
