Cheers Guys - it turned up so I am halfway there, nest is the hard bit. Maybe I should just stick it on the shelf for a while - look at it a lot, feel like I've owned it for a while? I don't have a clue how to fix something like this when it hits the cement lol.

Yes - Apple. They were the only ones I felt would look after me if it turned up with a fault. Didi it over the net too so I get 14 days send back.

All went well guys, updated the firmware no problems, then I left the battery on charge for a while - went out then went in the garden (not my first choice) as it's long and narrow. Hovered at various heights for 10 mins or so.... wind was strong so only went to 48 feet, filmed the garden a bit. Then the wife reminded me that 2 doors along were in mourning for a loved one that passed away..... so that was that! No time to drive to a decent fly zone. Southern airport is only 3 miles away. Still - no crash! Thats good right. Will try and zoom over to Shoeburyness tomorrow.

Yours will be better looking at the Satellite pics on Google.... have you seen what I have around here? Flat built up and boring - might head north to suffolk when I get the time. Have Venice planned for May and the Algarve for July. Alas, this is with EasyJet and not sure of the agro I will get at check in?

Good call on that. Not sure how they'll treat that situation there. Heck, I'm not sure how they'd treat me here! LOL

Well done glad it all went well.
