What's a good beginner drone to learn on if you plan on mainly flying indoors? For example, in the future I may want to use drones for real estate tours of homes but would want to learn on something inexpensive first!
The idea of doing a self-build feels a bit overwhelming to me - are you a technical person by nature? What made you go the DIY route rather than with a ready-made model?
Well done for diffusing the situation. How do you feel about going back out to that area now? Will you be avoiding it completely, or do you feel you got the individual in question 'onside'?
