Another hello from Luton

Introductions
1

Hello Grey Arrows,

Recently joined, name is Ben, live in Luton near Warden and Galley Hills.

Currently own a Mini 3 to dip my toes but ultimate goal is an Avata 2.

Completed my Operator and Flyer IDs before even taking the thing out of the box. I know I technically don’t need the Flyers for the Mini 3 but figured why not, may as well.

Flown a few times up over Galley and Warden Hills, lovely up there, and keen to dip into some of the Challenges.

Hi Ben, welcome to GADC. :waving_hand:

Good idea in my view to get the flyer ID, but it will be mandatory from 2026 for camera drones >100g anyway.

Hi @Benville and welcome to Grey Arrows :wave:t2:

Looking for recommendations of places to fly? Check out our interactive map on Drone Scene and please feel free to add locations of your own too :smiley:

Wondering whether you can fly a particular model of drone under particular circumstances? Check out Good 2 Go where you’ll soon find the answer :blush:

Have you seen our Members Map? You may find some members living near you.

Feel free to add yourself to the members map too!

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!
