First Flight!

[Robert Cook]

First flight Phantom 3 Std. Wow! Only 4 minutes, in beginners mode. Winnipeg, Manitoba. 0 degrees Celsius, very cloudy. All went well. Oh, I forgot to turn on video!!
Probably won't fly again til March. Should I charge battery? Its around 80%.

Need a tablet for sure! and definatly a sun shield.

This is so Awesome!

The battery will automatically put itself into storage mode after 10 days (by default). So no need to worry about it.

LOL, I did exactly the same thing on my first flight today (forgot to press record). I wish there was a setting that would automatically start recording when you take off.

Congrats on your first flight! Never store your battery fully charged Robert. Your battery will automatically discharge to 50%-60% for storage(long term, will drop in 10 days, GO default setting) I usually fly down to 20% then charge to 50% till the day I fly then charge to 100%.

I am going to get Litchi soon. No rush, won't be flying for about 2 months.

Wouldn't a 60 Chinese tablet work, assuming the specs are similar?
I just spent 600 on my drone plus a few extras. don't really want to spend more than $140 Canadian.

Research your apps that you might be interested in getting. Some are only available in iTunes and other in Andriod. I would also research or watch complaints about bad Wifi Strength.

Very exciting to fly for the first time! I personally found my Note4 phone to be worthless to see from (even with a Hoodman aviator hood it was difficult). That made me very nervous to fly when I left beginner mode. What really gave me the confidence to fly high and far was a set of FPV goggles. Using both Headplays and Flysight SPX02, and now I LOVE to fly.

You will love the video when you get it.

Good luck, fly safe.
