It arrived - now flown

[Stufft]

Received the P2V this afternoon, fitted the prop guards, updated to the latest firmware (2.0) and set it to Naza-M mode. Charged the batteries and took it outside to the back garden. I live in a flat so there was some obstruction to GPS from the east, most I coul get was 5 satelites therfore no GPS lock. The wind was blowing around 15-20 mph and I took off.

It flies great, altitude remained fairly constant with the wind gusting but it did want to drift downwind. Previous experience flying nitro helicopters meant I wasn't too phased with the conditions, I even managed to land it without any tipping over.

I can't wait until I have decent weather and a nice open space to try it properly.

I still don't think there is any more exciting flight than your first, welcome.

Thanks seahorse, it wasn't my first choice of location or weather conditions to be flying it for the first time but I did ok. Looking forward to getting GPS lock ad playing with IOC, home lock & course lock

Congrats on your first flight, it only gets better
