Thanks for the welcome guys ? This drone flying game/buisness seems to be minefield or confusion and law changes ? Still reading up on what i can and cant do.

Hello from the Hoosier Heartland chem999.

The Mavic Mini is perfect for starting this hobby.

Welcome to the Forum.

Welcome to our forum, from Texas!

You'll find that the Mini almost flies itself. 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 UK--, 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 many, many 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!

About 3 miles from me. I'll be flying at Rother Valley Park this afternoon on the first lake.

 

[Whitwellian]

Not been in there for ages - do you mean northern or southern lake?

Might see you there.

 

[Bill Kennedy]

It's the first lake with the parking area after you enter the park.

I'll probably be over some time this afternoon then.

You'll see then that the caricature isn't far off what I look like

I'll watch out for a pre-transplant Elton John ?
