Hi

There are a few nice places that you are variably left alone. One nice place is the entrance to the Finberry housing estate. Nice open area near no one. Also if it’s quiet of people, Conningbrook lake, but be aware of people, wildlife and the water.

Wye Crown is another popular destination.

Best regards

Trev, I got my phantom literally the same week they put us into Lockdown 1 and being one of the nations shielded, opportunities to fly were non existent.
I’ve got a head full of theory and a tiny bit of practical experience.
You have a good space for practice as you say in that pic. By the time I get out there will be hardly any places where its legal to fly.

Hi Dave Also have a phantom the 3 advanced started with the fc40 given to me by my brother so it’s all his fault haha. Been medical retired since 2012 first hobby I can do. Your more than welcome to come and fly over here out in the sticks

34

Hi Dave thought I would check in see how you are getting on with shielding have you got people to get shopping etc

35

Hi Trev.
So sorry that I’ve only just seen this. All good thankyou and thanks for going to the trouble of asking.
Hope you’re enjoying Christmas, certainly not flying weather.
Here’s hoping for a bit more freedom next year and clear blue skies.
All the best
Dave
