I just ordered a Phantom 4 Advanced this afternoon and joined this forum so I could learn something from those who have more experience. I've been a fixed wing pilot and instructor for 43 years, with extensive experience in aerial video and photography. I see drones as a way to get those aerial shots that would be very difficult from a conventional aircraft. As an instructor, I'm putting together a ground school course to educate local would-be drone pilots on the things they need to know to fly safely and legally. While I have the book knowledge needed, I have a lot to learn about actually flying a drone and hope my P4A will survive my learning curve. I'm also advising and will help train our local sheriff's department in implementing a high-end drone to support law enforcement and search and rescue. Figured it'd be better to get some experience in a Phantom before trying (crashing) a $20 k+ drone. Wish me luck!
