I have an even smaller drone and I was surprised how well it is doing in open terrain and despite the fairly strong wind. I learned to fly on the DJI F450 with the primitive KK2.1.5 controller and it was quite expensive learning. But I will say that it is easier to fly a large drone, but above all, good equipment is what counts. I have one, let's say medium shelf - Spektrum DX6i. After all, Acro mode (without a gyroscope) is not for me - but you can fly in this mode only with FPV goggles, and I do not have one (I do not have a video transmitter at all). The F450 currently has nowhere and when to fly (and now it would be appropriate to have a license for it

). But maybe that's a good thing, because its motors are over 100W each, plus carbon propellers without any covers ... it was really a flying mower - it started and loaded easily in tall grass, mowing it beautifully.
Regarding the apparatus layout, these are ... 4, called MODE-1..4. On drones, most people fly in the so-called MODE-2, although MODE-4 seems more intuitive to me (RUD and AIL / Yaw and Roll / signals are swapped), but since "everyone" flies in MODE-2, I also learned this way. In fact, I had a small helicopter model with 3.5CH steering before and maybe this is why MODE-4 seemed more natural to me, because these models are just like that - left only throttle, right front / rear and p / l rotation around its axis.
I also tried to fly on a virtual camera on a smartphone - it was a failure.
