Hello All
I'm a new Advanced owner, and loving it.
Before I took the plunge with the Phantom, I spent several months buying and flying cheap Chinese quads to get my orientation skills etc up to scratch. By the way, this is what I would recommend anyone new to quad flying should do, it's been invaluable to me....I still can't believe how many people just go out and get a Phantom or similar as their first ever quad! The 'toy'ones were meant as trainers, but they are keepers as they are so much fun in their own right.
Since I've had the Phantom, I've flown exclusively in P-GPS mode without bothering with the Atti modes at all. Flying this thing is a completely different experience to throwing a cheap quad around - obviously, much easier but with much greater risk if anything goes wrong. Basically, I feel as if I'm being lazy in constantly relying 100% on the technology (nothing has gone wrong yet to force me in to Atti mode).
So, I was wondering what the general consensus is on which mode is best?
