Hi from St Helens, North West

[rickardo]

I’m taking the unconventional approach and introducing myself, having yet to buy my Mavic Air, I guess I’m umming and arring before taking the plunge and looking for some persuasion from GADC members so I can justify my purchase to myself and to my other half that spending the money is completely fine because these people say so!

Any recommendations for places to practice around my area would be superb. Preferably somewhere I won’t be beaten or stoned to death for drone flying…

Thanks

Rick

Hi Ricardo,
I have an air for sale right now! I’m based in the northwest too.
I can confidently say it’s as good as new

[rickardo]

Hi Japester,
I’m not sure if you selling your MA is a good sign or bad ha, how come your selling? i would be interested if you offered a flexible payment plan or buy now pay 12 months

[Japester]

Haha! Selling due to being totally stretched at work and far too busy!
I don’t offer flexible plans but you’ll not get a better deal

Welcome to Grey Arrows @rickardo

Good to see you here too mate - was just talking to you on the MP site about the A580 East Lancs road

I’m in Wigan by the way, literally just down the road from you

@Japester is a guy that can be trusted - his kit for sale is here:

Mavic Air Fly More with filters and SD card

So, with a heavy heart my kit is going to have to go. I’m not getting any use and I’m so busy at work or seems a waste to have the drone sitting around doing nothing. I’m offering a UK purchased Mavic Air Fly More kit with a set of 3 polar pro standard ND filters and a Samsung U3 64GB SD card. It’s in impeccable condition. I’d say it’s good as new. All DJI boxes available. Total cost to me was over £1000. I’d like to realise £800. I will listen to serious offers and I’m not looking to split…

And for this one:

Where To Fly Your Drone in the UK

Pennington Flash probably is only 20mins from you? Probably best to fly there early in the morning - less people around

Out of interest @rickardo - how did you find Grey Arrows?

Anyway, if you have any questions there’s a really friendly bunch of people here so don’t worry, you’ll get helped, not flamed!

Give me a shout if and when you get a drone mate, we’ll go for a fly!

[rickardo]

Hi PingSpike, thanks for the info!

Yeah, I didn’t even think to look at the buy and sell area ha proper lazy.

Yeah, Wigan isn’t far, I once opened a radio-controlled shop in Wigan, for about a week and then thought nah dont like it! and never bothered. Gave up RC for a few years and now want to get into drones, I will definitely take a look at Pennington Flash, I have never even heard of it

Hard work all this forum multitasking!

I can’t remember how I got here mate to be honest, someone mentioned it on the Mavic pilots forum as being a great place so here I am - it might have been you.

Thanks again for the help and advice

I’m also not far away from you in Runcorn. there are quite a few of us in the NW on this forum
