New Legs for my new Air 2

Hi everyone, As a new pilot I did a whack of reading before getting my drone. The thing that got to me a lot was the price of a replacement gimbal and camera and how fragile they are. I took it to heart and immediatly ordered some of these legs and then a landing pad. I've seen these advertised...

RON, Welcome to the forum from Chicago the windy City.
FLY SAFE & FLY SMART ALSO FLY LEGALLY.
Its a lot more difficult to fly for some of us old guys, but sounds like you figured out how to do it.

Cheers from Cheticamp, Nova Scotia, Canada!
I just began back in January..... I'm now 67 and can tell you how grateful I am for my new glasses, but having a ball! With that said, take your time, learn the regs for your area, follow the rules and you'll enjoy flying with a lot less stress.

Feel free to pop by my YouTube channel and say "hey".

Enjoy!

Hi everyone,
Just popped in to say hello. My son recieved a Mini 3 Pro from his other half for his birthday so I Just *had* to be able to go flying with him (thats what I told my wife). I picked up a new Mavic Air 2 Fly more combo for a very good deal here in Ottawa. This past Saturday was my maiden flight. All went really well and gradually I started losing the pucker factor. What I did learn was that I am in fact getting old and I can't see as well as I used to. That beautiful Mavic grey is virtually invisible accross a football field. Thanks to this site I've learned all sorts since my time here began not so long ago. I have strobes coming from accross the big pond and some bright skins from Germany and Slovakia. If I can't see bright yellow and black.... Anyways, its nice to meet you all!

Greeting Ron from a brother old fart in the Great State of Texas! I have not shaken off the noobie jitters yet but love flying it. I am a very technical person and tend to fly the same.

It took a few minutes to figure out your post. I get called Ron more than Rod.

welcome to the forum from another old guy. I'm a risk taker, don't know how I got here with all my limbs. So, if it feels good, just do it, that's what I say.
