Greetings, all.
After much research, including extensive reading of Phantom Pilots, I just bought a refurbed P3 Advanced which I have flown about 6 times. As you can see by my avatar, old motorcycles are my first love. Before that, I got my pilot's license and flew full-size for about 10 years, including about 20-30 hours of aerobatics, before getting into collecting motorcycles (Cant afford to do both, and I thought that I was going to run out of guardian angels)
My motorcycle riding buddy, who was also my flying buddy, bought a Hubsan. I forget which one-- it cost him about $269.00. He bugged me endlessly to fly it until I finally did. Then he bugged me to buy one, so I bought the Phantom. No regrets-my white bird is easier to see against a dark background than his black Hubsan, which is one of the advantages of the P3.
I have flown RC airplanes in the past. I was also learning to fly a full size helicopter. Between the RC plane experience, the helicopter experience, and fixed wing experience (and lack of rudder/tailrotor pedals), it is taking me just a bit to get used to controlling a quadcopter, but I am cautiously making headway.
I will read posts here a lot and will likely post little, since most members here have far more knowledge than I do. Thanks for being here!
