[QUOTE="VladTheHungarian, post: 122047, member: 21259"] First flight was a MjJX Bugs 5W. Height of the pandemic, I figured it would give me something to do and incorporate 2 things I liked, RC and photography. I ordered my drone and waited 2 months because of COVID delays on items exported from China. 8 weeks pass and I get the notification from fed-ex that today my package was arriving. It came, I unboxed it, checked out all the components and spent the next couple of hours charging batteries. In the meantime I read and read the manuals, watched all the YouTube videos and was pretty confident that I was ready to fly once the batteries were charged. Finally the batteries were charged, compass calibrated, everything was ready. i take off in my tree infested backyard and much to my surprise I filled for 8 minutes before I messed up and in a panic hit RTH accidentally and watched my drone attempt to rise to 50 meters before flying into a tree on the way up and having into a branch by one of the prop guards. I eventually got the drone to fly out of the tree but it was my bad luck that instead of flying upand away it d flew straight into the ground at about 20 mph right at my feet. By the time I got the parts I needed to fix it I had learned to fly and had already bought a Tello and a Spark. [/QUOTE]
