PROGRESS.
I tried connecting the Ipad and it worked using the spare controller that didn't come with the drone. I then connected the drone to the spare controller until it paired. Then unplugged the USB cable and plugged in the phone and it worked with the original phone cable. I then tried several other cables and some worked while others didn't, the "data" cable that I bought being one! So the only left to wonder about is why the controller that come with the drone doesn't connect.
Anyway many thanks to all who chimed in and I'm hoping to be asking about operational matters in future.
All the best.
