Welcome to the hobby and the forum. Yes, for someone new these little quads possess much more power than expected, I waould love to have been there to see the look on your face the first time you punched the throttle!

The MJX Bugs 5W would be a good upgrade for you https://www.amazon.com/Teeggi-Quadcopter-Altitude-Headless-Interest/dp/B07DQFDJ9H/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1546451937&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=mjx+bugs&psc=1

I can't answer your questions, but I can advise you that if you're flying for 4-5 minutes after low-voltage warning, you will very quickly damage your battery and drastically reduce it's life-span.

Welcome to the forum Doc! If this is how you compose a message, I can only imagine what your written prescriptions must look like :D

Welcome to the forum Cliff, I'm a bit west of you in London Ontario!

Calibration and arming as per pages 8 and 9 of your manual

I don't have any experience with this and wonder if a blocker would actually help to increase signal distance. There are many types of devices to increase the signal of DJI products though. I use a simple parabolic reflector on the Spark controller, it increases distance dramatically

Please post a couple photos at different angles, showing how your props are mounted

You won't be able to build a 'copter that'll carry a 5 pound payload for under a few thousand dollars. What on earth are you fishing for that you need to carry that much weight! Believe it or not, drone fishing is not that uncommon (google it) in fact I have a simple setup on my Tarot 650 with...

I solder the capacitor arms and the battery leads onto the pads at the same time. Trying to solder the cap on later is very difficult. Try to mount the cap in a convenient spot where it's away from other electronics but still protected in a crash. You'll see in the attached pic that I...
