I use a label maker to make mine. Black letters on a white background. I’ll happily make yours if you send me an SAE and what you want on the label.

Such a pity that the site is only available for the USA and Canada.

I love that it is under 250g so can go everywhere. I love how responsive and manoeuvrable it is. I love that if I get myself in a bit of a tangle, I can just take my thumbs off the sticks and it will stay nice and still wherever it is until I sort myself out. I love the “ I”ll come back to you...

Had both my shots and both Pfizer. No issues with the first one, the vaccination site was quite sore for 24 hours and that’s it. Can’t understand anyone who won’t have the jabs. I suppose that there’s no cure for stupid.

I'm on the Norfolk/Suffolk border and was able to do a good bit of flying last Wednesday (10 days ago) when it was an early Summer's day with 20 degree C temperatures and light winds. Like most people I don't have all day, every day free even in these Covid times. Since last Wednesday, every...

I have a Mini 2 and love it. I am also undertaking the A2 CofC course with UAVHub. I am well aware that the Legacy drone exemption all comes to a halt in December 2022, but I would like to fly something under the 2kgs weight. I have the opportunity of buying a used Phantom 3 or Phantom 4 at a...

This is what I bought in the end. Only arrived yesterday, so not had time to play with it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B088BZW3SD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I’m a very new pilot with a Mini 2. I like the idea of using an iPad because of the bigger screen and have narrowed my possible choice down to 2 on good old Amazon. However, the pics seem to indicate that the data cable on the controller that is obviously long enough to plug into my iPhone, may...

Will do, thank you

Brilliant, thanks

I saw that when I was looking at power banks, but wasn’t sure if it would do the job. Thanks for saying it will. Presumably the 3-battery hub just plugs straight in? How long does it take to charge the mini2 batteries?

Well, if you’re to have one, have a big one! Given the cost of that power bank, it’s cheaper to buy another couple of batteries

I have had a bit of a search, but didn’t find the answer, so here goes. I have a Mini 2 with the 3-battery hub which obviously works perfectly when plugging in at home. I know that a power bank will happily charge an iPhone and iPad, but will a power bank allow the hub to be plugged into it and...

I’m 70 and decided that it was time I indulged my long-held hankering for a drone and bought the Mini 2 from good old Amazon. I live in Thetford on the Norfolk/Suffolk border and am fortunate enough to have a friend who is an experienced drone pilot and who, as part of his business, gives...

Sounds like me, too. Welcome
