Brand new to this whole drone thing. So new that I don't even have a drone yet!! But I'm obviously leaning heavily toward a DJI and probably the Mini 3 Pro.

I've definitely got a question or two so I'll do some poking around here to see if I can find the answers and if not I'll ask at that point.

I'm really looking forward to getting my feet wet because this hobby looks like it'll be great fun!

I opted for Mavic 3 Classic instead of the Mini because of NE's high winds that we have all the time.

Sorry for the confusion. it's North East Indiana not Nebraska.

But that Mavic 3 Classic is a bit pricier than I'd like to start out with. I'm trying to keep the other half OK with me starting a new hobby.

I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Being brand new to this forum I assume there is a private message system available?

If so would you mind PM'ing me with the details?

Welcome to you from Houston. You found a great forum to learn things on….Even without the drone.

Check out these apps that I check before leaving to fly.


UAV FORCAST


WINDY.COM


Windy.com shows a flow of arrows for the wind direction.

Just in case you have an Atti-mode fly away and wonder which way the wind took it.

I'm in NE Indiana, too. I have also been looking for a place to practice flying. Some public areas like parks work well for this at certain times of day, but at other times they are too crowded. There are two RC aircraft clubs in Fort Wayne with their own facilities. One is near New Haven and I'm not sure where the other is located. I had been thinking of looking into whether they permit drones if you join. I will check this and get back to you.

I checked and the Fort Wayne Flying Circuits allows drones at their facility near New Haven.

Thanks for doing the legwork to find that out.
