GBRenewed Enthusiasm for Learning to Fly My Drone I've had my drone for almost a year and have gone through various stages of enthusiasm and fear with this fun hobby. I've watched tutorials on YouTube and have signed up for a few courses, but Christine's course is the one I've had the most fun watching and learning from. Learning styles are highly personal and Christine's style is conversational AND academic which works for me. She breaks things down in a practical way that alleviates your fears and removes the complexity I've seen in other tutorials. Some may prefer the "stuffier" tutorials, and that is perfectly fine, but I would recommend this course as a supplement for new drone users.

GBAwesome Intro Course to Droning...Truly Grateful to CL After watching Christine's many informative and entertaining YouTube videos about droning, I decided to take her Intro course and felt much more at ease with exploring my new DJI Mini2 and taking the TRUST exam through The Pilot Institute/ Christine has a way of empowering the viewer and diffusing a bit of the anxiety that comes with being a newbie! I look forward to learning more from her Advanced course and prepping for the FAA 107 License.

GBGave me the confidence and tools to get out and FLY! Christine's YouTube videos gave me the inspiration to even get started with drones, and the teaching videos she has there were clear and concise. When I finally decided to buy a Mini 3 Pro, I checked out a few courses before purchasing but kept coming back to hers. She has a fun, approachable style on YT and I knew that's what I wanted in a course. The 101 course was just right for me being brand new to drones. The videos are digestible and well organized. My favorite part was the flying section where she gives exercises that build on each other (and help build muscle memory) for your first flight. This was SO helpful and made me feel pretty confident flying even as a complete newbie. I do have the RC controller with the Mini 3 Pro, so there were a few places where I didn't need the info (how to attach the phone to the controller) but it was pretty easy to skip or figure out how it applied differently. I also have an Android, so I couldn't do the flight simulator piece. My only small piece of feedback is to please treat Android and iPhone users equally by mentioning options/instructions for both wherever you're talking about smartphones. (For example, the editing is walked through on an iPhone and from experience I know it's very similar to Android, so just a mention that you've walked through the same process on an Android and it's very similar would be very appreciated. If there are any big differences, showing the process in a video would be helpful.) To be fair, this is a common frustration I have with courses/teaching from creators who use iPhones, but it's always a bit alienating. This was just a couple of small places in the course though, and the vast majority was excellent and highly applicable no matter what phone or controller you're using. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this course and would highly recommend it to anyone brand new to drones. I'm looking forward checking out the advanced course as well!

GBTake this class, it's so helpful!! I recently had the pleasure of meeting Christine at Camp Indie where she taught two drone workshops, and learned about her online courses. Her enthusiasm for drones and teaching shines both in person and online, and her attitude helps alleviate a lot of, if not all, fear for newbies. Her 'Which Drone to Get' course is informative, easy to digest, fun and approachable. I had ideas of the drone I wanted, but her course helped me realize the mini models wouldn't work for the conditions I'd mostly fly in or the things I'd want my drone to do, and the right drone for me is the larger Air 2S. That's already saving me time, frustration and money. I can't wait to get my drone and learn from her other classes. You should definitely read her blog, watch her YT vids, and take her classes too! Ohhh and during her live workshop, she let me fly her drone!! That was my first time flying and nothing bad at all happened lol it really is 'just a push of the button'
