The story of my first flight with a very boring video is here:

The phantom has done exactly what it is supposed to do every time I have flown it...just as advertised. The highest I have had it is 164 feet and that seemed really high but I know it is just because I am new and not used to it.
Last night I decided the pros of the NASA mode were useful and switched it into that mode via the Assistant software. I think related that to that switch the calibration for the camera title wheel got unchecked and my camera started to act strangely (rotating 90 degrees down and not responding to the DJI Iphone app). After reading in the forums I realized I need to check that box for the stick calibration in the basic mode in Assistant. I also saw the NASA light sequence for the first time and then I noticed the "front "led red lights did not function. I was testing it outside at night and did not turn the engines on... so it being late last night and I was tired, I thought I had hosed my phantom somehow and put it back on the dining room table after putting it back into "Phantom" mode.
This morning I test flew it and of course the red lights come on when you start engines and it flew perfectly. I'll put it back in NASA mode shortly...
My phantom is incredibly stable in the air...I think its going to be lots of fun flying this thing and seeing what videos and pictures I can get in the future.
