[QUOTE="jimlips, post: 115225, member: 15968"] The Spark is a great starter drone, and very forgiving. Just go to a local park, or someplace with no trees (like a nearby field), and have at it. Don't try anything crazy, just try taking off, flying in a circle, flying in a straight line, then landing carefully. Make sure to NOT take off from any kind of concrete or anything that may have metal (rebar) in it, as that will confuse the compass. Do NOT make the mistake of flying in the house, or the garage, or the back yard. I've known too many new pilots that crashed their drones doing that. You need lots of room when you are new. Practice with slow and gentle controlled movements. [USER=20481]@Henry[/USER] has a great recommendation above, try to find a local pilot that can help you on your first flight for pointers. [/QUOTE]
