Hello from The Wirral, UK

[BlackViperXI]

Hey all

After many many years of debating on getting a drone, I finally took the plunge yesterday and ordered a DJI Mavic 2 Pro, which is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

I've done a lot of reading up on the documentation for the device and the beginners guide, I'm super nervous after reading about fly offs etc, but I'm not going to jump into the flying, a lot more reading and learning to do!

I'm getting married in the Bahamas next year so hoping to get some epic footage from the trip, fingers crossed I still have it then lol!

Hi Black viper X1, and welcome as others have said. I too live in Wirral (Eastham) and would be happy to show you the ropes, should you want. I would say to PM me, but not sure how you do it, another member will perhaps enlighten us.
I have a Mavic Pro, been flying for last 4 yrs in all.

"getting married in the Bahamas"
Congratulations - Take Rons generous offer, register drone (UK CAA) get some practice in.

Enjoy the drone and welcome to the forum lots of advice and information it's a rewarding experience (P4P & Zoom)
To enter the Bahamas with a drone, you must first obtain permission from the Civil Aviation Authority (Bahamas), whether you fly privately or commercially. Lots of info on-line.

Where about do you fly on the Wirral, Peter?

Hi ?

Generally around the West Kirby and New Brighton areas although most of my flying is over on “My side”.

You're off to a good start, reading the manual and understanding the drone. When you're ready to fly go in your garden or a field, always start with your flight check, check for updates always do a compass calibration before you fly and always fly in line of sight. Accidents will happen if it's your fault or firmware just make sure your drone is within reach when that happens.
