I have a Phantom 2 that I purchased from DSLRPros -- 'Sundance Edition'.
As of tonight, I have logged 16 trouble free flights and I am loving it.
My biggest problem has been the learning curve, but the guys at DSLRPros have been extremely helpful. These guys have my respect and admiration. I have flown paper airplanes and a water powered red rocket. My red rocket was a true flyaway.
I hope to fly this Saturday with the GoPro attached.
I am trying to take it slow and learn as I go. I suffered a stroke during heart surgery a few years ago, so my left hand is not what it once was...I fly with one hand most of the time. My left hand may slow me down, but I refuse to allow it to stop me from anything I love to do. Life is full of workarounds. ;>)
I know full well that I may someday have a problem/failure and I'll cross that bridge if/when I get there.
I have also learned much from the graybeards on this forum.... and their input on this forum is greatly appreciated. Many of the videos created by members on this forum are incredibly beautiful....so much pure talent.
Some of the sad stories bother me, but life has many bumps along the road, so I simply take the bad with the good and 'just keep on livin'.
Cheers......
