Hi all. As the title suggests, as an RC /Glider, Heli and power fixed wing jocky who frowned on multicopters and all the bad publicity. I have succumbed to this amazingly safe and tech filled side of our hobby. I am now the proud owner of Mavic mini. I am absolutely blown away by what this small aircraft can do and look forward to exploring my country with this tech filled wonder. It's nice to be part of the community and clear skies to all.
Another recruit to the dark side.

Thankyou for the welcome. Once we can start moving around freely again I'm looking forward to getting the campervan out and doing some flying and filming up your way.

Welcome to the Dark Side from the Far Side in Texas!
Isn't the Mini an amazing machine? Great performance. Great fly-time. Great camera!
You'll find lots of fellow Yorkshiremen coming out of the woodwork, and others pilots from around the world to help you gain skill as a pilot and photographer.
Be sure to read the manual! Be sure you practice lost drone recovery (you will crash, and you will lose your Mini). Just be sure you know how to retrieve it!
Glad to have you with us!

Thanks for the advice on lost drone practice. I can see how important that is because a few times yesterday on a local featureless moor (Bronte Country). I was so immersed in the new experience that I found myself having to use the rth feature to get it back in sight. It sure moves quickly. I will practice that feature in a safe area on a regular basis. I've already started hurtling down small valleys with it.

Thanks for the warm welcome fellow pilots. The weather here has turned for the worse, so that gives me chance to browse the forum for tips. Plus to see what everyone is up to.

Welcome to the LIGHT side FROM the dark side is my view having been on the dark side and crashed more flying things than most people.
We all hope you enjoy the forum.
Check out the CAA rulings for the distance regulations if you have not already done it. It might save you a lot of aggro.

Hi. Thanks for the welcome and advice. I am now aware that although my Bmfa membership allows me to fly my gliders hgher than 400ft (under a current exemption rule) it does not permit me to fly a quadcopter over that height. I am now learning to keep an eye on the drone and just glance at the screen occasionaly. Whole new learning curve.Welcome to the LIGHT side FROM the dark side is my view having been on the dark side and crashed more flying things than most people.

having to collect your peg and display your frequency flag on the antenna along with the corresponding peg before you could fly ,the best was when you had half channels with planes all over the sky and suddenly your craft would get grabbed by another trans as you were to close in channels are the good old bad old days

There's many clothes peg makers closed up their cottage industries because of DJI ?
