Another new pilot here.
Bought mine from Best Buy. It was both bad and a good experience. Bad experience became a blessing in disguise later on. I will elaborate more on that later.
My Q500 4K arrived within days of ordering. I didn't get a chance to go through a lot of anxiety attacks waiting for it to arrive. Spent my time trying to learn to hover with my also new, Syma X5C-1. Finally when the Q500 arrived, took my time unboxing looking and reading. Probably studied more about LiPo batteries than I did studying and learning about the drone itself. I wish I hadn't because little by little talked myself into buying a Graupner Polaron EX Combo. Now I am out about $1700 for my first serious drone and I don't even know how to fly yet!! Extra props, prop balancers, other knick knacks started arriving all the while I am hiding the big aluminum box and the shipping carton in my home office.
My wife who works for FedEx, is questioning why I am so bent on helping out UPS and USPS so much. It seems every other day she is headed to work she is seeing an UPS truck headed down our driveway. She wants to know what is it that I am building. How do I tell her, I am not building anything. It is already built and sitting in the room she very seldom goes into.
Finally worked up the nerve to getting it out of the box and playing with it without the props..
DISAPPOINTMENT NO:1.Dead on Arrival.
Spent about an hour and a half on the phone with the folks at Yuneec, and the conclusion is........Bad Pressure sensor. Will not even give me the magical blue light,Wouldn't stop beeping. They advised me to return it back to Best Buy for the exchange and for a replacement
DISAPPOINTMENT NO:2 They no longer have the configuration with the two batteries and the aluminum case in the store OR in their system. No longer available!!
