Trim is for airplanes. Make sure when you plug it in it's required to be on a level surface.

Yeah, that's standard for all the quads I got. I used the trim on my smaller ones and it fixed the drifting no problem. I'm going to hook it up to the computer to see what everything is set to but based off of prior experience, unless this one is different, the trim does affect the drift since the Glimpse needed trimmed to prevent it from going forward and right in neutral initially.
That's a nice quad. You won't get all that is possible out of it till you hook it up to your computer.

You CAN trim it from the TX. You shouldn't need to trim it from the TX if it's calibrated\setup correctly. The right way to do it is calibrate it from the Flight controller.
Yes, they are light though and as I said there are quite a few folks dropping their $$$$ fatshark and other goggles for them as they're $250.00
I'm probably going to go fatshark Dominator HD or the Dominator v2. I still need to do some research though and see what else is out there. More FOV = better to a certain extent in my opinion. Those cimemizers that guy had need to hook up to a unit with the transmitter, if they didn't need that I would be excited to use those.
So the pre-test before the maiden flight at Pace Park happened today. I'll do the full maiden flight once I get a set of goggles. Short story even shorter, the thing is so agile that I'm going to need to get used to it since its a "real quad" by any standard definition. I got three settings, beginner, intermediate (to do flips), and full expert. The initial test flight to make sure everything worked went well. Right at the end I lost control a bit and rather than try to save it I cut the throttle and let it bounce on the grass with no damage. After a few flights in the open field I will have a much better handle on it for sure. It is NOTHING like my Glimpse. It was like driving a 450 HP car for the first time after being in a slow RX8/Mazda 6 for a few years.

I get swallows(??) near mine, usually late in the evening. If 1 shows, there will be 10-20. They give chase as I blast around.
