Hey after my third flight the quad started doing strange things and not responding to the controller properly. Might it have been I was too close to the large metal hanger doors? Any help would be appreciated.

Enjoyed the vid. Valiant first attempt. Look forward to more.

As far as the problems with the bird. Please post the details and kind of drone in the help section appropriate to your drone type. That will get you the best analysis.

Hi Old Guy from Scotland from Old(ish) Guy in Northumbria (also with Mavic Air) - currently we have gales or rain on/off here, so I'm a bit grounded ? You'd think it was autumn or something ... ? Quick query - you say from Scotland - yet Location says Cumbria ? ?

Old guy from The Sierra Nevada (Truckee) says, “Hi!” back at Scotty. I’m old but new to piloting the Mavic drone... Danny

Very slight exageration on my part . North Cumbria, Carlisle, 9 miles south of the border to be exact but spend the majority of my time in Scotland

Hi Danny, welcome to flying and Mavicpilots. Enjoy your drone in amongst all that great scenery you have there. I'm totally addicted as I'm sure you will become.

A nice maiden flight I should say. Close shot over a tree, almost hit a bird and ending in the rain. Expecting more exciting videos from you in the future. Good luck.

Wow thanks..You make a rather dull video seem quite exciting. Much appreciated Once I get the hang of this thing it'll be used as an extra tool in my photography box

Just noticed a stack of replies. I'd like to thank you all for the warm welcome. Although now 69 I'm still a practising wildlife film maker and nature photographer for over 40 years and am excited at the prospect of aerial footage greatly benefitting my films. With the friendly and positive attutde I have received from members from Mavicpilots I am really heartened to know that there is help when I need it.
