Frank this is an open forum so your number will get spammed, and I am sure you donā€™t want that

We can talk and be friends here mate :wink:

The first question isā€¦ Whatā€™s your budget/How much wonga you have to splash :thinking:

Thanks for your offer of help. Am I unrealistic to spend Ā£200 or less? If not perhaps I should post the message below! frank K. I am not even sure, to whom, I am responding! Am I the only member, unable to make sense of the format? How to reply? New Post? Reply! ā€œYou bought a S- - t Droneā€! Who is responding? The whole format seem disjointed. Older messages first or last. Reply to one member attracts unhelpful remarks! My brother is a member, I will ask him if I am JUST TO STUPID to continue my membership. If so, I bow out respectfully.

Hi Frank. I sense your frustration both at the drone(s) which you have purchased and with this forum and its members.

I suspect that the cause of your frustration is that with both you are trying to run (fly) before you can walk. (I guess from your comments that you are new to both)

Sadly there are a lot of cheap Chinese products out there and most of them will prove unrewarding and a waste of money.

However, I believe that the 4DRC Fast.Mini 4D-F8 which you have purchased will prove quite satisfactory for your first steps.

I would strongly urge you to find an open field, possibly a local model flying club and seek some hands on help and guidance. You will also need to read and re-read the Chinglish instructions over and over and follow them one tiny step at a time.

This quadcopter is not a childā€™s toy. I contains three solid state accelerometers, three gyroscopes, three magnetometers, an optical flow movement sensing camera, a high precision altimeter and a GPS receiver

Sorry, but you will have to gain a basic understanding of how to calibrate these before you can get safely into the the air.

Donā€™t give up. Be patient. Ultimately the gain will be worth the pain and above all donā€™t shout at other forum members. :blush: :+1:

Hi, AK7466. Thanks for your ā€œgentle reprimandā€ and taking the time to explain my misgivings/lack of understanding, regarding the workings of the forum. Frank. P.S. You will be awarded T.J. for your help! F.

Hi all I purchased my first drone , yes I fell for all the hype the k8 .the instructions are poor I managed to take off flew for 5 mins wasnā€™t to bad .but then I turned it off tried again it was just flying forward instead of up lol any ideas anyone please at the min itā€™s going back in the box . Also the battery I canā€™t even se how long Iā€™m supposed to charge it for . What drones that actually work would people recommend for there first drone tia

DJI mini range will be your best bet - lower restrictions on them to where you can fly due to the weight. DJI are the leaders in this field so you really canā€™t go wrong here really. The Mini 2SE is a great entry point all the way up to the Mini 4 pro depending on your budget.
