After several months of reading manuals and viewing how to videos I finely got the courage to fly my Phantom today. After going through my checklist, take off was a tip over and the Phantom went upside down! No harm done except for my pride. I then remembered that a video I saw where some pilots switch to Atti mode for T.O. I did that and T O was perfect. I then switched back to GPS mode. Flew for about 10 minutes getting use to the controls and how the Phantom handled. My thumbs stopped shaking about 5 minutes into the flight. Did not fly over 20 feet high. Also I am flying without gimble and camera. As a new pilot I won't to take all precautions and get at least 5 hrs of flight before I add gimble and camera. Hand caught the Phantom and was very happy with my maiden flight! Just thought I would share.
