Hi everyone. Newbie here. Just sold my p3s and bought a p3a, love it. To be honest I'm a little scared to fly it after hearing about all the fly aways. I have been doing alot of reading on this forum and you guys are really helping me out. My question is do you think a simulator will help me alot more on those crappy days where I can't fly due to weather. I.just looking to get better skills. I'm actually afraid to fly more then 500m away also lol. Looking forward to hearing your answers

Welcome to Phantom Pilots!

I think you'll learn more by practicing in a wide open location with no nearby obstacles.

Hello
BIG open space until it gets boring .
I fly out to islands off the coast now and over lakes and forests lol .

I flew over a lake once and it was really neat. But the more stories I hear about FlyAways the more nervous I get. Maybe that's a good thing and take my time and learn properly

From reading some of these posts I definitely like and learn more from this forum than the DJI forum that is included in the DJI go app. I've only had my P3A in the air 5 times and I love it. I definitely would keep to a wide open area for now.

Datjr ,
One thing I use to do was get confidence in the RTH . you can cancel at any time but knowing that it will come back is a good thing and confidence booster ..

I agree with @msinger.
I think you'll learn more by practicing in a wide open location. The simulator is very limited.
