I have literally 0 experience with any drone. After doing research and talking with some folks who are more into this world, they fully recommended Ruko. I am very glad they did. This drone is amazing! From unboxing to flight took me 10 minutes. The instructions were a welcome find as well as the quick start guide as well, which is ALWAYS with me when I have been practicing. It's a great thing to be able to quickly reference what button does what when the drone is hovering. I still get REALLY nervous when its just sitting there hovering. All in all, this drone is phenomenal and I am having a blast puttering around with it. In fact, my neighbor decided to get one too and now we fly them together. Do yourself a favor, go ahead and buy it. You will be glad you did.I will say one thing that you will need to keep a watch on. This drone is pretty light. A slight breeze can blow it around. Practice on calm days so you can get used to how the controls work. I use to fly RC planes and for me, the controls are different enough that its like having to relearn how to fly.Another piece of advice for all you first timers out there. Keep the rear of the drone facing you. That way you dont have to think when you want to guide the drone. Left will be Left and vice versa. It can be confusing when the drones orientation is 90 degrees off to you and you need to react quickly. I have lost many other RC aircraft this way. Don't wreck you beautiful new drone, just take it slow and learn how to react by habit, you will thank me later.
