Just a brief intro.
57 years young, born and bread in the wonderful county of Yorkshire, England.
I had a few years flying fixed wings, but being part of a club, and limited to sky time, I ended up giving it up.
On a busy day, we might have had 15 members all wanting the same patch of sky, so you were lucky to get two flights in a day.
A crash followed not long after by a dead stick, landing my plane up a very very tall tree finished me off.
Don't get too alarmed, i'm talking models, not full sized aircraft.
Anyhow, I've better things to do with my Saturdays than sit in a field talking for 7 hours and 40 minutes, and it costing me X number of pounds for the priviledge.
About 18 months ago I bought a KY601S, more of a toy than a serious drone, a sneeze is enough to blow it out of the air, and the camera is pants, but hey, what do you expect for loose change.
It's been OK for a bit of cheap learning I suppose, with no fear of losing vast amounts of money if I ploughed it in the the ground.
Although I ought to say table leg.
I've had thoughts on the Mavic Pro for a few years, but those bad experineces on the fixed wings put me off spending serious amounts of money.
Not that I couldn't afford it, more the fact that I'm a Yorkshire Man
Now the price is starting to come down, I bought myself a used one.
So this is where I am.
Will I get bored. ??? .......Probably.
I've always said that my hobby is hobbies, i've tried them all.
