New in Manchester

Hi, I am new on here and bought an HS175D, purely as a hobby and pleasure flying to entertain my grandson. I didn’t want to spend on a Mavic Mini 2 in case it flew off into the distance, never to be seen again, first time used.

I have Flyer and Operator ID’s and am waiting for decent weather for a first flight, but am trying to learn where to and not to fly.

Hi @astra1982 and welcome to Grey Arrows :wave:t2:

Have you seen our members map? (Click the burger-menu in the top right) You may find some pilots living near you. Feel free to add yourself to the members map too :+1:t2:

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-and-answers category.

Looking for recommendations of places to fly? Check out our interactive map on Drone Scene - be sure to log in to gain access to the full suite of features and map layers:

And please feel free to add locations of your own too.

Please also take a moment to look at the Membership Levels section on our FAQ as we’re quite different to other clubs and you’ll be eligible for some rather exclusive club discounts as your membership level increases :blush:

Welcome once again!

I good place to fly is Turn Moss in Stretford, when I was learning I would find a quiet spot, away from the dog walkers :roll_eyes:
