New flyer in Leigh, Wigan

Introductions

Hey, I got my Mini 4K almost a year ago, and have flown it about 3 times. I’m worried about being approached by know it alls! I have noticed a restriction on the drone assist app about Manchester to Liverpool corridor, in short, can I fly my drone behind my house on Bickershaw Country Park?

Would like to hear from other locals who would like to chat!

Chat soon

As for your question, grab a coffee, pull up a chair and read the following, where it has been discussed.

Drone Assist is inferior with little or no support, thats why we built Drone Scene
