Hey - I’ve just found this club on Google. I’m a cameraman and me and my 10 year old have been flying my mini DJI for two years and he loves it and is good at it. I really want to encourage him to fly it and be part of a club. Does that kind of a thing exist ? Especially FPV (which he has no experience of)
We are based in Kingston in Surrey and wondered if anyone can share with me anything about the flying scene ? Many thanks greta to be here and reading through the posts

I am aiming to set-up one for Knockholt or Morden in October.
