    It's a quad! That's about it, you could flip the gps switch and master watching it hover till the battery warning tells you its time too flick into Rth and watch it land itself .

                Practice backwards figure of 8's and backwards piroing forgive of 8's. And then the same forwards.

                Then why not practice figure of 8's but keeping nose in the whole way around the figure 8 circuit. This will enable you to get experience with the quad in all orientations so if you come to fly a heli it will be a bit easier for you. Then you will have mastered it as there is a lot more you can do than just hover it and take off/land lol!

                          This may seem like a silly question but why did you buy it if you didn't know what to take pictures or video's of?
