Holiday greetings from Sydney

Hi all,

I'm now in possession of a quadcopter, thanks to my lovely girlfriend and Santa. I've caught the bug and I'm already thinking of how to improve both my flying skills and the drone, so hopefully I'm in the right place!

The drone in question is a MJX Bugs 3. I've read it's probably not the best drone for a beginner seeing it doesn't have fancy features like altitude hold, headless mode, one button launch/land, or return to home but I'm up for the challenge!

Until two days ago, I'd never flown a quad previously. The only aerial RC experience I had was a budget RC helicopter I'd bought my little brother about 10 years ago. So right now I'm still struggling to maintain level flight and barely moving more than a foot off the ground :) Practice and patience I guess will help.

The other challenge I have is finding a place in Sydney to fly. I live in the city and there are strict CASA regulations on flying near helipads. So far my flying has been restricted to inside use.

Happy to meet you all,
Caino
 
Welcome to the group. Friendly crowd, I am newish here starting with a toy quad and just buying my Bug3. The attraction was the low tech to match my toy quad, but primarily drive with my wish to try some aerial photography.

I also live near an airport so also limited so far. Surprised you managed to do much indoors with the Bugs 3, but then helicopters are said to be harder to fly so maybe that is helping you.

The bugs does seem to have endless upgrade potential, so lots of fun research ahead.
