Can I use this to learn how to fly my drone?

Not with the software that it comes with. I find it to be more like a game that a simulator. However, there are very responsive software in the market that you can control with this device.

The simulator only has airplanes,jets,gliders and two helicopters.If flying a heli helps then....After reading prior answers,I would like to say I learned several stunts and polished my skills on it and I still use it every now and then.

Hi,Yes you can control the flight path of the drone with your Ipad if you have the 2.4 bluetooth data link hardware installed on your phantom 2. Let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.Sincerely,Brandon

Yes. Just charge it up and it's ready to fly. (Flies really well, too.) If it seems to lose the signal when it's high or pointed a certain direction, the receiver on the helicopter is a little black box thing connected by wires that can be bent down for a better angle to receive signals from 360 degrees.

You can but you probably will have trouble especially if there is any wind. It's ment for indors and is considerd a beginners heli but it's a lot if fun. Get extra batteries if you get it

You can. I recommend the castle thunderbird 54 controller and the himax HC3516-1130 motor it gives much better performance than the standard setup.

Yes, absolutely. Just remember this is intended to be a flight simulator, not just a flying game. Be prepared to invest some learning time to get the most out of it.

Glad I'm not crazy, that exact same thing happened to me. Go to the DJI web site and you can download instructions. Def a pain but worked out fine.

No this product is a bind and fly model. You will need to have spektrum transmitter. I would recommend a spektrum dx8. This transmitter will allow you to use the same transmitter as you progress in the hobby.

The only way to use this Controller with Virtual DJ is to make sure you have the Pro version. The program on the free version will recognize the controller, but will go into demo mode instantly. You will only be able to use it for a ten minute trial period. And also the configurations are different, so you'll have to adjust the settings, but that's a YouTube video away to look up and get instructions on. So yes, you can use it, but its only optimal if you have the Pro version. But the program that comes with this controller is very easy to use.

I made great effort to undestand the entire user manual and all the led indicator signals prior to first flight.I performed all upgrades according to nazam software and watched a lot of utube instruction videos. After all was said and done, and to anwser your question, you could fly the copter as soon as you charge the battries. It is very easy to fly and to perfect your flying technique. I have bought two so far and will probably buy another one.. get a gopro too. It takes great aerial photos. I think amazon has great gopro pricing. Good luck and have fun. I cant recommend it enough. Being from boston, i have to say its pissa. That means real good.Lou I made great effort to undestand the entire user manual and all the led indicator signals prior to first flight.I performed all upgrades according to nazam software and watched a lot of utube instruction videos.

With an iPad and the module for it you can. You could also fly remotely with a camera and video receiver.

If you mean can you drive it based on GPS, NO. Though it is a DJI NAZA Unit and so I see no reason why you can't plug in a arduino pilot and give it some waypoints. If you are talking about staying on point at a location (GPS Lock) YES - In GPS mode it is very responsive and when you let go of the controls it stops in mid air and hovers even in wind (18 mph today and kept within 1 meter) Tried that with the Blade 350 QX and was disappointed (more like 4 meters) pretty iffy.

From a practical perspective, I agree with David Maloney answer. I have read about those few that have hacked into the command language of the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 and ran it from their laptops. But that is way too much trouble to go thru just to fly this toy. I use AR.Race2 on my Ipad, it was free and it works.

Yes, but wait for the next version (bebop drone) to come out. Go to the parrot website to see it

Yes, you must upgrade your Phantom 1 with the kit that DJI sells separately. It's not the easiest job but at the end it works great, as soon as you install it make sure you have updated Naza's firmware so it can recognise the new logic board you just installed, otherwise it won't work. Good luck
