Hi, just joined - East Kilbride, just outside Glasgow

Hi, my name is Simon. Just joined. I’ve not added my a2coc or flyer id yet, as they are due for renewal at the end of the year. I like the id cards you have, so will get one after renewing.

Been flying for a while, and do some commercial part-time work. First drone was the mavic 2 zoom. Moved to the mini 3 pro, and now planning to upgrade at the end of the year. Might see what new drones are released. Mini 5 pro is one option, but if they release an air 4, I might go for that instead.

Anyway, just popped on to say hi. I really like the map you have. Extremely helpful, especially since drone assist is basically gone.

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 the north of England :waving_hand:t2:

Both great drones :smiley:

If you are waiting until later in the year, I think we might see a DJI Air 4 around November time :crossed_fingers:t2:

Really enjoy the 3 pro. 5 pro would be an easy update, but I think the air 4 will be a great drone. Been reviewing the air 3s and I like the specs on that, so hoping the 4 will be better, also should be correctly tagged for the changes. I think the air 3s will eventually become a legacy drone.

Will be checking to see how to upload stuff. Will try and upload older stuff, but will probably forget the take off points!
