Newbie from sunny South Africa

[Mynah]

Hi everyone, time for me to stop lurking here and cautiously call myself a beginner drone pilot I have many hobbies and drone was yet another one on my bucket list, then spotted a Mavic Mini 'refurb' deal I simply could not ignore so I took the leap. And mainly thanks to this forum and the knowledge shared here I've logged 37 km without a mishap, and it includes night flying, strong winds and even ATTI flying indoors, all while experimentally pushing the limits as one tend to do with any new hobby. (There's adrenalin involved)
I'll soon share my rookie experiences in the Mavic Mini thread, including my rudimentary yet successful efforts to push the CE limit using my hobbyist knowledge gained from messing about with radios.

Where in South Africa are you?

I am Parys in the Freestate, in a small town on the banks of the Vaal river, and in the 300km diameter impact crater of a meteorite that struck 2 billion years ago.

Thank you all for the hearty welcome to the forum.
The promised contribution on my first impressions of the Mavic Mini.
