buy a cheap drone learn how to fly before you go and waist money on something over your head
Although these wouldn't be the words I would choose, this is basically good advice for the OP, however the tone of the post is unsympathetic. Crashing that early with a P4 implies a skill level that may need attention before flying the P4 again. The P4 is an extremely easy craft to fly, however that doesn't mean that anyone can fly it competently, and safely. It could be an expensive training period using only a P4 to learn, so learning to fly with an inexpensive drone for less than $100 is good advice. Cheaper drones for training usually don't incorporate GPS, so flying ATTI is what you'll learn, which is a good thing. Yes, flying trainers in ATTI is more difficult to fly, that's the point. Once you learn how to fly craft in ATTI, along with throttle control for elevation, the risk of flying a P4 will be very low, and that's what you want when flying a $1400 bird. When flying cheap trainers YOU WILL crash a lot, that's the goal. Crashing all the time will humble you, and it will be fun. When you learn to fly without crashing, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment, ready to graduate to more expensive craft. I fly a Blade Inductrix indoors all the time to hone my skills, and play with the cats and dog. It's almost indestructible, and safe, but for indoors only, a palm sized craft. The Dromida Omnius is a good outdoor trainer, very durable. If you master those craft, flying the P4 is a cake walk at that point. The key skill to learn is reverse navigation when the
craft is flying toward you and the left/right inputs are reversed.
Left makes the craft go right and
right makes it go left. You need to get to the point where reverse navigation is wired in your brain to be automatic, depending on the craft orientation. This is exactly how most newbies crash, they get comfortable because the P4 is so easy to fly, and they fly right into an object because they haven't mastered reverse navigation. This can be dangerous by the way, a simple newbie mistake, and unintentional of course, but avoidable with proper training steps.
