Have been following this Forum for some time now and am very impressed with the excellent transfer of information.
I thought it was about time to get involved.

Hi Old Man,
I see that you are older than me. Well done!!
After 50+ years as an Air Traffic Controller plus private pilot in my early years, I am finding the the technology involved in these craft amazing. The learning curve should see me out..............
Cheers

Age is just a number ,be careful these things are very addictive ,and also the associated stuff that is a must to have (carrying case lights skins sun hoods spare this and that multiple battery chargers extra batteries a good computer and of course the obligatory man cave to house it all)
plus much more, but hey thats what retirement is for ,(when you are not being a chauffeur for the grand kids or looking after them etc) happy flying OMM

Welcome from New Mexico from someone who visited your beautiful home land several years ago. My wife and I loved our whole 18 days as we drove both islands. People are friendly, the food is fantastic and the scenery goes from snow capped mountains, to Norwegian fjords, to countryside similar to what we see in New Mexico. We even took a horseback ride through where Lord of the Rings was filmed and my wife rode a horse that was in the movie.

Welcome to the forum from the beautiful woods of Maine!

Thank you all for your welcome.
I have already gained a lot of insight by following this forum.
For example, my experience with the Mavic 2 provided controller attached to an iphone 6 max was less than ideal. Very hard to use in any bright sunlight. So after assessing all the pros and cons discussed on this forum I decided that the Smart Controller was worth a try.
It has solved all of my issues with visibility and connection frustrations.
Thank you Mavic Forum!
Moving on one step at a time here ............
My next main issue is maintaining eye contact with my machine (I believe you call it VLOS).
So............
Standby for best strobes for my machine queries...........
Cheers
