A complete newbie - South Manchester

Hi all.
Trickythedronegay AKA Richard here.

Jumped in feet first with a DJI Air 3s combo, slowly feeling my way into drone flying. I have done flyer and operator ID, now looking at some training, insurance and care and refresh.
I am in South Manchester, previous experience with FG Marder of roaders and control line aircraft, model boats Etc. Not in any great rush to fly my DJI before everything is sorted and legal.

Good luck and safe flying to you all
Tricky

Welcome @Trickythedroneguy to GADC.

I would highly recommend becoming a Gold member as that comes with Public Liability insurance. That is one thing you could tick off on your To Do list.

Flying a drone is great fun but sometimes you feel the need to have a purpose for doing so and the Challenges category provides some great reasons for you to fly.

There are regular challenges which are open to all, that attract members of all abilities. Support, advice and constructive criticism is freely available; still photography, video and the techniques for editing both are involved in the challenges. Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the Challenges category for more information.

We’re a well established club with many knowledgeable members so it’s very likely that any issues you come across will have been discussed here before. Our discussion forum has very powerful search features which should help you find what you need but if you get stuck you can post a new question in the Questions & Answers category.

And finally, if you are new to drones and wondering what it’s all about, have a look at Resources for a beginner.

Welcome once again!
