Coming up on two weeks with the Phantom 3, and I'm starting to get more comfortable. In many ways, this is great; the bad means I want to start pushing the limits of what this aircraft can do.

I continue to monitor the DJI forums seeing horror stories of drones falling out of the sky after losing power. For this reason, I have yet to fly over water.

I have somewhat pushed the altitude limits.

I've also been hesitant to fly above people, especially when I don't know them.

While I'm nowhere near the advertised limits, I'm at my own limits until I can comfortably fly without hesitation. Until then, I'll be looking for wide open spaces.
