New Pilot, Gulf Coast, AL

[S2005]

Hi everyone!

Brand new pilot! First drone ever. First RC really...

Was planning to join these forums to get pointers, but now I can't fly at all because I've broken it

Would love to eventually get together with some other local pilots to learn!

sorry to be so hairlarious just trying to cheer you up

 

[S2005]

No, I appreciate it haha. Puns & dad jokes are my favorite.

Not TOO upset about it, just sad I can't go fly today... (And maybe for a while, depending on how long it takes to get repaired)

I just moved from that area in November to the mountains of western North Carolina, otherwise ...but I will be down that way this summer to see family.

Oh awesome! That sounds like a wonderful change of scenery! My wife and I love the coast, it will always be home, but we dream about moving to the mountains.

Welcome from the mountains of Colorado. You broke it as in you crashed, or as in you broke a part messing around with it?

Just be aware that Pensacola NAS has a big no fly zone that extends a ways into the coast/beaches. I know you are aware of that... get your wife to be a visual observer. That would be fun!!

 

[S2005]

Copy that! Yeah I noticed a few pretty large No-Fly zones near me. They're building a new ER/Hospital in the Malbis area, and that new helipad is already on the map too.

My wife likes to fly it too. So far, visual observer has been required. Too chicken to fly it further than I can see it.

A bit of both. Crashed it trying to hover near my own head, and got some hair in the motors. It still flew for a day before i noticed the hair was under the motor, so I tried to disassemble to remove the hair, but ended up doing more damage than good
