Dear Alan,
I wanted to send a thank you note for the lesson I took with you yesterday (Thursday 19/04/2018).
Firstly, I wanted to send my thanks to your colleague, Simon Smith, who I spoke to several weeks ago. He kindly spent 15 or so minutes on the phone. He very patiently answered my questions regarding your company and about the DJI Mavic Air. Following my purchase of the drone, Simon kept me updated on the delivery schedule and my preferred delivery date. A very smooth process, efficiently handled!
Regarding the three hours I spent with you yesterday I can, hand on heart say that I was in the hands of a consummate professional. The time flew by (pun definitely intended). The first classroom hour gave me a lot of knowledge around drone safety and legal aspects of drone flying. That I was able to ask numerous questions which were answered from an obvious great depth of knowledge was a real confidence boost, having lost a drone due to my lack of experience last year.
The subsequent two hours flying were a real treat. I was a little anxious at first as the Mavic Air costs a lot of money, but your patient, cool instruction soon had me flying with increasing confidence. The Mavic Air’s ability to hover with no pilot input and your explanation that using this when a pilot becomes anxious is invaluable in developing confidence in the drone.
The confidence to send the Air to its altitude and horizontal limits to ensure flying in ‘clear blue sky’ makes a lot of sense and again helped lessen my fears. I know you felt it was amusing that I actually applauded the Air when I used the return home function and it landed perfectly. I was blown away with the incredible quality of the intelligent features built into the Air.
This feeling was made even more apparent when you began demonstrating the intelligent flight modes. As you said it will be worth me rummaging up to my arm-pits in these modes to enhance my enjoyment of flying the Air and improving my photography and videography.
In summary I had a fantastic three hours and consider it money extremely well spent and would very heartily advise and recommend it to any new drone pilots.
Thank you again for all your help and guidance,
Bob Murray
