Hi everyone
I’m new to the hobby. My 8yr old wanted an FPV done and I got him a 2.5" cinewhoop so he can also learn to tinker and fix it after a crash. Now we’ve both got into the hobby.
Still learning at the moment. I’ve been flying in Tolworth meadows at the moment.
Battery life is pretty aweful, I would like to try a Li Ion pack but need to get that CofC as that pack will take the drone from 240g to 340g.

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!

Hi @RCX489 - welcome to GADC
Hey and welcome to GADC 
Welcome to the group
I ‘think’ you should be legal above 250g if your 50m away from people and 150m from basically any structure without an a2. Along with a legal spotter.
CAA website has exact details to confirm.
Article 16 flights might help too but i cant remember the details but worth looking into imo.
Grey arrows members qualify 
Your not too far away from me btw. Try posting in the meetup section sometime.
If only there was a completely free service that people could access whenever they needed such questions answering
Yeah,
That is a shame. Someone should really get on with sorting that out
That’s how I started too 
, I bought my grandson a Ryze Tello, then decided I wanted a drone. Welcome
Welcome @RCX489
Oh wow, you just saved me £50 !
That’s covered the cost of your club membership and a full years worth of insurance already then
That’s very useful, so much easier than figuring it out myself.
