Started flying in 2014 with the original DJI Phantom 1, back when you could order board upgrades and solder at home. Adding the first zenmuse gimbals etc.
Got back into the hobby recently flying fixed wings - just back from a holiday in Florida where I got a lot of practice with my tinkered ZOHD Dart 250g.
what a coincidence. Just today, I picked out and saved POIs in the Lake District that my wife and I would like to visit this summer. I will have my DJI Neo 2 with me.
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 @Wtope3 from Morecambe. Morecambe beach can be great for flying wings when the tide is out. Great for crashing them as well.
As the weather improve the NW faction of the club should be having more meet ups so sign onto @group-northwest to be notified of any meet ups.
One of our favourite spots is Beacon Park at Skelmersdale.
