took my first feeble attenpts to fly my drone .

couldnt find the on / of switch and also found the charge port.
once i found the on / off switch i paired the drone and syncroed the gyrow. then the thing took off full speed into the celing and came down abite later and crashed into a box. the drone is fine . im a bit shaken but ok. tried later and had the throttle almost completly off and did better . next time i am going to have it on the floor for more room.

He's a camper, driving his RV all over the country. No fixed address, goes where whim take him. He got a drone, and decided to fly it for the first time at a campground in Wyoming. Didn't realize the effect upper level winds might have on the small aircraft. Got a little too high, and . . . whoosh! Never to be seen again.
