Having traded in my vision for a vision plus (and now my second +)
I have to say THIS IS NOT A TRAINER
Not because it is hard to fly but because it is not forgiving of any crash!
If you crash 99% you will lose your camera and gimbal that is a fact!
I think everyone should start on a phantom or a vision and fly for a while then sell it and move up
Yes you will take a couple hundred dollar hit in the sale
BUT it beats a 800.00 gimbal and camera (if they are every readily available) or
$600-$700 repair bill and 75.00 in shipping and 4-6 weeks without your craft
My vision went through many bushes, a tree, my front porch, living room walls and duck. (I like to go fast)
And through all that I spent less than 80.00 in parts and she flew like a dream when I sold her.
Try that with a plus
First things first get rid of the **** prop guards they are a wreck waiting to happen
I have seen guys flying in a hover start to drop out of the sky with those **** things.
They seem like a great idea but they will cost you.
I have 75 flights on my vision + now and had over 40 on my vision before I sold it
And I have never had a vortex ring crash and I descend full down all the time but I keep forward movement And if I don’t I watch for the first sign of wobble and then its hard left .
But after removing the prop guards I have not even seen a wobble yet
Don’t get me wrong I love my plus and the stable camera but I’m glad I started elsewhere and moved up
Remember you don’t give a kid a Ferrari for their first car right.
I mean it drives like every other car
Gas, brakes, steering wheel but there is a big difference in repair costs
So if you ignore this advice don't come on here whining that it broke too easy
I also recommend highly learning to hand catch for landings so easy and way safer for your craft
