Took a little trip out to the country where my uncle lives today and was a bit weary about making my first flight there because of the 14 dogs they have on property but once we got there and I put the propellers on I knew, this was going to happen.
I had done all the calibrations, IMU, Camera, Remote and the batteries were full, beautiful day, nothing stopping me. So I took it outside and started the Remote, then my Pilot App, then the P3A. Everything came up fine. I decided to use the auto take off feature and it raised to 4' and hovered with no issues. Dogs all were fine, no problems at all. (didn't realize until later that I completely forgot to calibrate the compass in my excitement)... :-/ Didn't seem to bother it.
I flew it around with Beginner Mode turned on but I can tell you that lasted all of about 2 minutes and beginner mode was disabled. Flew it around their small lake area and the house (video to come soon) and decided to take it up to 400'. No problems whatsoever. This thing is AMAZING!
It was fairly windy but by watching the P3A you couldn't tell it at all. After flying around for a bit at 400', which was a bit daunting to me for a first run, I decided to try the come home button. It worked! It flew right back about 400' above me and slowly decended until it landed about 5' from where it took off and turned off the engines once landed. Perfect!
Flew it around some more just getting used to speed, turning, camera angles and stuff. On the second battery I decided to take it out and flew around the property. Had it about 150' and at one point about 2000' away. Again, no problems at all. I did try to calibrate the compass on the second battery but realized I totally forgot how to do it. Will on the next flight but for now I'm one happy dude!!
Best purchase ever! Can't wait to take it on more flights. Now.. How do I find the flight data?
