Just a late hello to everyone here, been on the forums for a month or so now.
UK Cornish lad here (well a 44 yr old lad)
New to these forums, but been flying various uav's since 2010, DJI ones since 2014. Fully licenced and insured in the UK with A2 CofC but mainly just use for hobby flights.
Only just a week or 2 ago I had to replace my Air 2s due to a short wet walk away from the car only to return to the car being broken into and my Air 2s and all my extras gone (fly more kit, lots of PL filters, tablet and other extras) and my wifes' DJI FPV gone, along with my laptop and a few other bits and bobs. Lost just over 3k in that stupid moment leaving it all in the boot, but it was raining, couldnt fly and wanted to see a waterfall while we were up in Scotland (I live in Cornwall, we were having a week away), it's the ONLY time I've left it all in the car, we were on our way back to a lodge for the evening after a few flights nearby. Such a shame. It was all covered in the boot, but they got in through the window, straight to the boot and took everything. We heard the alarm go off and ran back but it took us 20 mins to get back and there was no sign of anyone nearby .... so gutted. Anyway, not after sympathy, **** happens and I've moved on. Reported it to DJI so hopefully they wont be able to use the drones anyway, maybe just for spare parts.
Love the forums, everyone seems helpful here, wish I joined years ago when I was at the beginning of my piloting days.
