G'day from Sydney Australia

[GlennK68]

just picked up a new Pro Platinum, I live next to an airport so hoping to get away this weekend to the thing in the air.
I will need help over the coming months, the last aircraft I flew was made out of paper!

Cheers Wayno, a lot to learn! Living in a no fly zone has meant I've spent the first five days of ownership watching Youtube tute's... can't wait to get airborne...

Hey Simmo, not sure where to ask this question but it's in relation to the app you steered me towards so I guess here is as good a place as any! If areas marked 'Red' on the app are no fly zones does that make 'Orange' a fly with caution?

Stop looking! I found it! What a great tool that App is...

Yes. You can tap and hold anywhere on the map and it will bring up a notification of the status of that area. How did your 1st flight go today?
