Hi @Kanno and welcome to Grey Arrows :wave:t2:

Looking for recommendations of places to fly? Check out our interactive map on Drone Scene and please feel free to add locations of your own too :smiley:

Wondering whether you can fly a particular model of drone under particular circumstances? Check out Good 2 Go where you’ll soon find the answer :blush:

Have you seen our Members Map? You may find some members living near you.

Feel free to add yourself to the members map too!

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 from sunny Blackpool, Kanno, just turned 70 myself (well Christmas), retired now a little over 10 years. Got my first drone August last year, now have a little fleet (beware this hobby addictive). Gets me out of the house, was becoming reclusive, I like the aerial photography, and through this group trying/experimenting with other things such as video, time/hyperlapse, like the challenges sections as give you a little incentive to go out with a purpose.

Hi Donjack 1964
I know Pitenweem very well, it is only 14 Miles from me.
I pass through it most days. We have a small museum in Leven 2miles from me dedicated to the weem witches. All about Pitenweem and witch persecution. Plan at some point to fly there when I get the hang of flying. :smiley:
