Ah, youā€™re only about 15mins away :slight_smile:

Do you know what youā€™ll be buying?

I warn you now, this hobby is a slippery slope for burning holes in wallets - ask anyone here :slight_smile:

really i never noticed. Well I did but i didnā€™t tell the wife. She thinks everything cost a fiver, and the caravan is for her to go away in, ( no its for me to have somewhere more comfortable at the big meets)
so Yeh it burns a hole in your wallet, the credit card is constantly in use and the bank manager has me on speed dial.

The bank manager will confiscate the caravan .. on Sept 9th .. complete with all your drones that you loaded in readiness, and have a superb holiday in it. :stuck_out_tongue:

You are so ideally located for the Beacon Park meetups .. where all sorts of drone are flown and, between those that attend, thereā€™s a superb breadth/depth of knowledge of both camera and fpv drones.
Keep an eye out for the next meetup there .. canā€™t imagine there wonā€™t be one very soon.

@OzoneVibe ill keep my eye out for when the next one is on and will head down for sure

With such an opportunity on your doorstep, Iā€™d wait, go to the meetup, thereā€™ll be several happy for you to fly their drone, several types/models, get a feel .. then make a decision.

Seeing the drones in the flesh, and talking to others there also provides a great opportunity.

@jcbdriver appreciate that, ill come down regardless then even if u havent picked one up before then

@OzoneVibe thats a great idea, Iā€™ll head down it would be good to see various different ones other than looking online before making a decision
