Hello - and thank you for having me. I just joined and jumped on the Premium "deal" (thought I'd try it out for a year, hopefully longer).

I got my first drone last Monday (DJI Mini SE) - so of course it snowed - TWICE - last week. And today it is raining. But I did get to fly for two short flights on Thursday. While I certainly have a lot to learn, this is easier than I remember about flying small RC planes and helis about three decades ago.

I used PilotInstitute to get my "TRUST' certificate and should have my Part 107 sometime in March. (I would probably get it this month but we are leaving on a long vacation the end of next week.)

My plan here is to lurk and learn for a while. Then I'll jump in once I gain some drone flying experience.

Here is my first image (that I sort of like) from my 2nd flight...

Cheers y'all,

- Bill

Wow, thank you, all, for the warm and encouraging welcome.

Speaking of "warm" - could anyone send us some warm(er) weather - so I can get out and fly to start building my skill set? Please. Cold and WINDY today and tomorrow and might not get above freezing tomorrow...

Ha, I could send you some from SE Queensland in Oz, but it comes with tailing winds from a cyclone or two. All nice and warm, but keeping my shiny new M3 grounded :mad:😢;)

Welcome to the forum from the dry lakeless hills of Lake City FL. An irony... I know. If lakes grew here as much as your knowledge will, Lake City would become an ocean. ;)

Welcome again
