I am up in picton. I have a mini and fly several times a week.

Down in Fairlie for three weeks then to Upper Moutere for two weeks.
Hope to get some good footage up there.

Hello SpitFire, apart from all the faults with it I have enjoyed a lot of flying.
Maybe get a MM2 next year so hope it goes better.

Travelling around the South Island.

Welcome to the forum! We almost moved to Christchurch many years ago for a job offer. Never made it down that way. Happy and safe flying!

Have been hearing GOOD things about the MM2, want to get one as well.
Just waiting, and reading the reviews before I buy one.

Just waiting to see how the prices go. Hope to find an FCC model.
I'll keep playing with the mm1 while it still flies.
Too many faults with it to sell.

Good place to live, nice and quiet.
No covid is a bonus.

No rules. We are like we were a year ago.
No travel restrictions means more flying the mini.
The only covid is coming in through the border into isolation.
Been doing a lot of flying but not allowed to post the links here.
