Hi, new drone flyer from Dunmow, Essex

Hi everyone, I’m new to drones and I have my father in laws drone, skydio drone. I’ve got my flyer ID and tested it in the garden low down and once the weather picks up I’d like to get it out properly and see what it’s capable of. I’m from Dunmow so if there’s any local meet ups, I’d be up for coming along.

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.
