Hi all, I buy my tello few days ago, today arrived and I set up mi repeater 2. I use the tellofpv app. I am now testing a lot

but I need to wait for better weather to get the Tello out (rain and wind between 50 - 70 km/h is not the best ?). I am very happy that I find this forum, it is full of useful informations

Welcome MarcoC

Based on my experience, Tello works best for indoor. For outdoor, the ideal condition are: almost no wind, bright daylight. Watch out for trees and lastly consider the other WiFi networks near/around your location, they could interfere the connection between Tello and your phone/controller.

And just a tip when flying your Tello outdoor, when the Tello is gotten too near to a tree, try to fly it up to avoid hitting the tree, it is much safer that way rather than trying to avoid the tree. I experience this once and got really panicked and confused because the Tello is drifting because of a sudden strong wind near a 6 meters tree and then my Tello hits the tree branch and fell on a concrete from around 6 meters height. That's the lesson I got and cost me around 25 USD to repair one dead motor

Overall, Tello is the best small drone to get familiar with flying a drone. Happy flying!

Thank you for the welcome and the tips. Today was the weather better and I make my first outdoor flight and video cut, I cut hastily and on my phone, so it is not perfect.

Thank you, the boys like everything what is RC (we have helis - blade 400, T-rex 450, blade mcpx, cars - tamiya cc-01, x-ray x1, and tanks), I'm glad we have so much in common. The younger was crying first time, that the tello is flying into the clouds

. We like the small tello, who knows what would be the next step, spark, mavic or phantom

. This forum helps me a lot with the tello.

My boys are adults and have other pursuits. My one son has a wife and daughter and just let us know yesterday that they are expecting another (Yeah!!!). My older son is a computer geek and so far, no girl has snapped him up yet. She would need to be able to talk geek to him to get him to notice her. I had one son who liked drones, but unfortunately, he passed away then they hit a moose in the car. My wife likes to encourage my hobby... to a point. She has put a moratorium on new drones. I fly mainly Yuneec drones (Q500 4K and Typhoon H hexacopter). This hobby is fun and can get expensive, but it does keep you out of the bar! (I don't drink anyways, so the bar would probably be boring ?). I hope you and your family have fun with your Quad experiences.
