Hello all!! Just getting my toes wet in the rc world. Ive had three drones so far, and sincerely wish I had known of you wonderful people at flite test, and on this forum before I took to the skies. I may have been able to save the first two. The third was a non-starter, quite literally, as it seems someone had scavenged parts from the receiver, thus rendering it and my drone inoperable.
I was about to give up after that. My fiance had seen the problem, however, and after reaching out to the woman who sold it to us, and got another drone from her, the one im currently learning on now (Sharper Image DX-5 wifi streaming drone).
But I decided to research the hobby a bit more before ruining all this time and effort my beautiful wife-to-be had invested into my happiness. So, to youtube I went. I hopped on some channels, not sure exactly what I was looking for, when I found the guys at Flite Test. I have since binged on the content, soaking in all the tech and the knowledge ( far more valuable than my weight in gold, imo). let me finally get to the point of this long-winded rabbit hole. THANK YOU!! From the sincerest part of my heart , Flite Test, thank you! I have a hope i never had before and my fiance, heck, the whole house now has a spark that hopefully grows into a passion that I immediately felt when I got my drone to hover, all by my lonesome! My fiance said "your inner kid is showing," but I didnt care. Ive since been able to minimize my crashes to a few isolated incidents per flight in my home, as I'm pacing myself. One of my favorite episodes is the first tutorial on flying rc planes. The way the two joshes bantered helped me relax, and made it easier to process the info, of which there was a lot. Though I'm lightyears from flying rc planes, I was able to incorporate some concepts into my own practice. I know this has been a lengthy intro thread, but I had to give praise n positive vibes where they were due. Thank you guys. I hope to fly with you all someday!
Sincerely,
RC's newest family member, aka Dash.
P.S. - do you think you fellas could possibly do an episode that incorporates piloting basics for microdrones that could help newbs, like my fiance and I? She had mentioned wanting to learn, and I figured I could pass the knowledge on as I learn it. I saw the P.I.G. helicopter episode. Maybe something tuned to that? Thanks again and I hope to chat everyone up to get some good tips. This newb can use all the help he can get!
