Hello from Metro Detroit, Michigan - USA

[Firemike]

Hello and Happy 4th of July!
New to the forum and new to drones. Been wanting to get one for a while and finally did it a few weeks ago. Figured I better learn to crawl first so I am starting out with a DJI Mini SE before graduating to a more robust unit.
Been lurking here for a while and learned so much. I don't know if I will be able to contribute much at first, but certainly do appreciate all the great people willing to share their knowledge. Helped me make more informed decisions concerning equipment and accessories.

Hello from the Crossroads of America Firemike.

Good choice for the first one.

Mine was a Spark years ago.

Although the aircraft won't need registered with the FAA, it's only five bucks and the numbers look cool if you decide to register. Especially if you add stuff to it like strobes or other accessories that will push over 249 grams.

Thank you MA2 317!

Registering the drone and taking the TRUST test is on my list of fun things to do this week. I also just started my Part 107 training. I want to do this right the first time!

PS - My brother lives in Indianapolis.
