Hello from Blackheath S.E.London

Hi everyone, Just wanted to pop in and say H-E-L-L-O!
I am awaiting delivery of my drone; it should be here Thursday or Friday, but I thought I would get ahead of the curve and join up.

I’ve been pondering getting a drone for quite a while, but since I retired in March and have time on my hands, well, I’ve taken the plunge.

I will be doing a lot of research and don’t want to cause any problems for anyone whilst flying, hence the join-up.

Are there any members in my area, SE3 or surrounding?

Cheers all.

Graham.

Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the Challenges category for more information.

Hi Graham, which drone did you order ? I’m about a month away from ordering a A3S ! Can’t wait ! I had a MA2 back in 2020 but had to sell it. Really looking forward to flying again !

Hi, I ordered a mini 4 pro, should be arriving tomorrow.

I’m a little excited and a bit nervy.

Looking forward to a steep learning curve

Hi there. I’m sure you’ll get on well with the mini 4 pro.

I’m based in Erith so if you fancy meeting up for a flight near the Thames just let me know.

That would be great, I would really appreciate some expert advice.

The drone hasn’t arrived yet, am getting impatient. :roll_eyes:

I’ll send a message when it arrives, i’m retired so anytime that suits you is fine.

Thanks. :+1:
