Just received my Pocket Drone and when documentation was lacking went on line ... looks like I made a big mistake, but am not alone from web stories ...

Hopefully can make some lemonade, and learn a little, from this lemon.  Any help would be appreciated.

When I plugged in the USB RF module I got a "unsigned driver error" .. so searched around the web for drivers .. and downloaded the chip driver ... but then got a "required elevation" error on install - ??  What the heck does "elevation" have to do w. a USB driver ... but think it did install as it shows up in the Device Manager list and says "performing normally" ...

Connecting the Mission Planner to the RF USB module ..

     What is the proper "Mode"?  Auto, TCP, UDP, UDPCI ?  I did find baud rate to be 57600

     Using "Auto" the program locks up

     With TCP link it asks for "host name" and "remote port" - ??

     Both UDP and UDPCI timeout ....

Until I can connect the RF module to the autopilot I guess I'm stuck re uploading latest software, configuring, using Mission Planner, etc...

Any suggestions, links, etc.. would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Shame the Pocket Drone folks didn't get better advice on design, production, manuals, etc...

===================================

Never mind ....

I've owned about 10 fuel and electric helicopters, many quads and hexcopters, including several DJI's ... so figured it shouldn't be difficult to fly this one ... Made no changes .. right out of the box ...

First flight she didn't respond to the throttle until about 1/2 ... rapidly climbed and rolled .. right into a fence and destroyed herself.  Should have tried flight first and saved myself 2 days of searching for doc's, info, etc... Will ship back to Pocket Drones w. letter from lawyer re. misleading advertising, incomplete documentation, poor design and construction, etc...
