Welcome to the from. You will learn a lot here. I got lots of help from many here & still learning. I fly the MPP at 85 years old bad eyes also.
Welcome to our forum, from the friendly skies of Texas!
You'll find that Minis almost fly themselves. This can lead to overconfidence. Try to be conservative at first, and expand your horizons gradually. The Mini, at only 249 grams, doesn't handle wind as well as the heavier drones do. On windy days--you get those in the Golden State--, it's best to fly the Mini so that you have a tail wind on the way back.
Read your manual, and practice using "Find My Drone". Chances are you'll crash and perhaps lose your drone. Don't wait 'til that happens to try to learn under stress in less than ideal conditions. We have several fellow Brits among our membership, and over 120,000 more from around the world who will help you learn your new hobby. Ask for help when you need it. Share your work when you can!
Glad you've joined us!
