So I was able to do my first flight today and it was a blast! It flew exactly as advertised and super easy. I have never flown any RC flying thing before, and I was able to pick it up and fly it confidently (helped to be on a large soccer field). I found a field suitable to fly in, calibrated the compass, then set it down and let it go through the imu warmup and gps searching. It really didn't take any time at all, so I was very pleased. I throttled up and did a bit of tinkering and was quickly flying about. I did have a small issue landing the first time, I didn't realize once you touchdown, you need to hold the throttle fully down, so once I touched down I let off and it tried to maintain that altitude and ended up falling over. No harm and it was quickly flying again. I'm going to get some flight time on my belt, then start filming with the zenmuse and gh3+. My fiance filmed a bit of it with my Nikon so I could post a first flight video:
