Morning all, thought I’d better stop being such a hermit and say hi
Had a GEPRC Vapor d5 as my first proper drone after crashing my little rtf micro drone into a water butt, still getting the hang of things so I got a wee Pavo Femto to muck about on when space is limited.
Happy to say I haven’t crashed yet after many hours on the sims and several hours out and about, but I’m sure that’ll change sooner or later
Hoping to get into FPV airplanes soon when my wallet lets me, love flying the drone but I wish the flight times were longer.
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.
Hi Patrick, welcome from the Black Country.
I spent a very happy few days in Shepton Mallet in 1970 at the Blues and Progressive music festival, don’t think my ears have got right yet!
