Hello from Southfields SW19

Just a quickish intro from me.
I was born at a very early age and dragged up in Battersea SW London and started R/C modelling in 1964/65 first with boats and a 1+1 channel 27mhz Macgregor radio, then on to Skyleader radio’s for both boats and cars, then in the 80’s started helicopters with 2 Morley helis, a Bell 47G, a Hughes 300 and a Dieter Schluter 5ft Bell HUEY. I have put fixed camera’s on my helis and was quite amused at the footage of the flights, but seeing the footage of my brothers dji mini 2 and 3 I decided to get one, I’ve had a mini 3 for 2 months and haven’t flown it outside yet being a fair weather flyer, gonna be another 2 months probably.
