This is a well designed quadcopter and you can't beat it for the price range. It can take off as fast as a rocket. This is my second quad but the first was a toy compared to this one. Once all the batteries are charged, take the time to freshen up or get your bearings. AFTER COMPLETION you can enjoy your flight. Visit the FAA website at Quad Copters to register your quadcopter with the FAA for $5. Everything else is your choice. The FAA also has good free software that will alert you to flight restrictions in your area. If you buy props frequently, you might overthink things and slow the pace. Saving the location of the quadcopter is mandatory. I would love to try a VR headset with this quad. Please take your time getting off in the middle until you get the hang of it.
