When my plans to get a DJI FPV got indefinitely suspended, I turned my meager drone purchasing power in a different direction.
I bought a used Mini-1 Fly More Combo.
Then, I bought a Mini-SE.
I now have one of each model of Mini that’s ever been made! So, you can now call me…
Mini-Me!
Of course, I’m a tad over the 250 g limit, at 220 lbs, so calling me a "Mini" might be misleading, but we can set that aside…
By coincidence, I was able to pick up both the Mini-1 and Mini-SE at my mailbox place on the same day:

I picked them up on the way to dinner at the Overland in Gardnerville, Nevada. I eat there often enough that they let me swipe two tables to set up a little drone display, with the Mini-1, the Mini-SE, and the little H823H. This is part of my Grand Plan to promote my Drone Lending Library for kids. It turns out one of the people sitting next to me had a Mini-2, and my display sparked a conversation. I got him to take a picture of the Nerd in Drone Heaven:

Here’s the scene from my perspective. Note the Great Enabler in the lower left:
Meet Google Drive – One place for all your files
The Great Enabler, of course, being my wallet, which is seriously disabled after this indulgent double drone purchase! Which I don’t regret for a microsecond. And here they all are, with the Mini-1 on the left, then the SE, then the -2:
Meet Google Drive – One place for all your files
True confessions: There’s no Mini-2 in that box. That’s because, at that time, the Mini-2s were all in the hanger:
Meet Google Drive – One place for all your files
Left to right, that’s Enterprise, Defiant, and Phoenix. Among other things, I now need to get serious about creating more hanger space. But I had to put them all on display at least once:

Hence…Mini-Me!
I’ll do a little unboxing and flight description for both of them later. I invite suggestions for tests that I might run, to do direct comparisons of the three versions on the same day, with the same pilot and phone, in the same place. Should be fun!
Are there any other Mini-MEs out there, people who have all three mini Models on active flight status?
