Just joined!, but no drone as of yet… I’m still researching stuff but I’m currently looking at a DJI Mavic 4 Pro (retirement present to myself).
I’m a Forces Veteran so I’ve done a fair bit of flying in the past, I even used to fly weightshift microlights for years. I got my PPL(M) licence whilst in the RAF in the 90’s but stopped flying in 2011 due to the ever rising costs. Shame really, it was a real buzz.
So I’m really looking forward to getting airbourne again soon even if it is from a controller. Lots to learn but I’m really looking forward to the challenge.
I see there are Big Meets held fairly locally to here so I look forward to meeting some of you there once I get up to speed.

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.
