Fresh to the world of drones with a recently purchased Phantom 4 Standard. Been flying RC gliders and Electrics (the slow ones, no reflexes for the fast ones...) since the mid-eighties. Also spent time as a soloed student glider pilot at Waynesville Airport and Caesar's Creek Gliderport in Ohio. Valuable experience then and now, as no matter what I fly, I always treated my RC aircraft as though a bit of me was riding along. The old Pilots saying of "there are old pilots and bold pilots, but no old bold pilots" has always served me well. Waiting for a set of DJI prop guards to get here next week, then following a good "walkaround" will do an auto take-off and climb to the giddy altitude of 4', then take a moment (or several) to simply admire it, then land gently with some feeling of awe, as growing up as a teenager in the sixties, the ability to do this and see the world from the aircrafts perspective would have been pure magic...and worth literally $Billions for that piece of tech you can now hold in your hand.
