Hello from Milwaukee, WI

[jp128]

I've always wanted a drone, but never really knew which one to buy. I won a small drone in a software competition (probably ~$30-50) but I didn't play with it until a couple of weeks ago. It is pretty terrible, to be honest, (2-3 min flight time, constantly trimming to try and stabilize), but I was able to learn how to maneuver it pretty well. Once that was accomplished, I knew I'd be buying one with a bit more moxie.

After a week of watching videos, reviews, unboxings, etc, Mavic was the one that I was after. Anyhow, once I got my tax returns this year and after I realized all of my bills were paid, I had to buy something. It was either a Mavic Pro or a gaming console with VR.

It was an obvious choice! This drone is amazing. After three days of owning I am obsessed. I've been reading a ton about laws/regulations, tweaks, etc. This is a great hobby to get me away from software programming and outside.

I am really excited to have found this forum!!

I live in Milwaukee as well, we should hook up sometime and go fly, although mines in for a repair right now who knows how long that's going to take it's been over a month already. I met another guy on this forum that lives in Wauwatosa that wants a little guidance Learning to Fly come spring. I'm willing to help in any way I can or just get out there and fly, if you're interested pm me, welcome to the hobby.
