    I used a ladder and was able to get mine out. What are your impressions of the H73? what others are you waiting on? I'm waiting on my SJRC F11 pro. It'll be my first GPS drone.

    A total beginner seeks guidance

    Hey Larry, I am new to this as well bc of the quarantine and from what I have seen you may want to start with something a little more basic if you havent even flown. Getting into an expensive drone the first time out usually leads to some trial and error and sometimes crashes. I started with...
