Hi!
Help!
I’m new to this drone thing. The wife’s bought a drone, says it’s a 4DRC or 4D-FII / GPS ???, and I need advice/chat from someone on what to do next. Never flown anything before. Friends giving advice that we need to take a course and get licenced, need insurance, need to fly miles away from anywhere 
…
… anyone please give advice, anyone local to Thatcham, Newbury and surrounding would appreciate a reply.
Regards, somewhat lost and overwhelmed …
Mark

Hi Mark - welcome to GADC 
It looks like the 4 DRC is a sub 250 gram drone so the CAA registration are as follows:
… so you will need an Operator ID … so go here …
… after that, find yourself an open space and get flying and enjoy
Any further questions - we’re all here to help
210 grams but does have a camera so best bet is to get an operators licence.
The UK CAA web pages do quite well explaining what you need to do and what you can, and can’t, do.
