Extreme Start :D

Hey Everyone

Got my first Phantom 3 Standard today!
I had drones before but the simple and cheap ones. This one is my first serious!

So, the rain outside, couldn't stop me from checking how it works. SO i have a big living room, tried to fly 1-2m around it, got one crash into the curtains and fell down on the floor from like 30cm. But functions fine. no damage.
But it still flies, and all is cool.
Got scared, and didn't fly it anymore. learnt my lesson. Will wait for the good weather.

What makes me feel a bit stressed is that, after turning on beginer mode(i didnt have it on from th estart) it said that GPS signal is not stable and have to wait until take off.

Is it because i am in the bulding or it can be caused because of the crash? I hope not, and im being paranoic

Thanks in advance, and i would appreciate any beginer advice!
Thanks

It's most likely because you're in a building. As you found out, it's not easy to fly Phantoms in confined spaces. For that reason, it's generally a good idea to never fly indoors.

I suspect because you're indoor and the house has insulation .

So it survived 20-30cm falling? Its durable enough?

P.S.
Any other advice you would give me, or any video would be recommended to watch?

P.P.S.
Can't find flight simulator anywhere in the DJI GO app on Android (s5)
