New member from the 'sunny' South Coast

Hello Each,
Just joined the forum today so thought I’d better say hello!
I’ve been flying drones for about three years on and off. My first drone was a Mini 2 but I bought a Mini 3 Pro as soon as they were released…and my wife has just bought me an Air 3 for my birthday :birthday: :partying_face:

I live only a few hundred feet from the sea and really do enjoy filming around the coast…so much so I’ve named my YouTube channel CoastalDroneViews. I’ve literally only just posted my first video clip but hope to soon add many more, especially with the Air 3.

Cheers,

Andy :sunglasses:

I think I will arrange a meet up soon. A few new members joining from the south coast. Just want to wait for the weather to settle down a bit.

Welcome Andy. Hope you enjoy your Air3 as much as I do.

Hey John, thanks for the welcome :pray:. No, not car related…but cat related! It refers to our beloved Bengal cat named Scooby! Unfortunately, he’s no longer with us but always present in our hearts :heart:

Hi Andy,

I’m relatively close to you (near Hayling lifeboat station) so our paths may cross. I’m hoping to get my licence back if the quacks think my heart has behaved itself so I intend to get a South Central meet together sometime this year before we get flooded with holidaymakers.

See you around!

Hey Robert, I used to spend loads of time on Hayling as a kid…loved the place…used to spend all day on the beach and in the water then beach cricket in the dunes until nightfall…those were the days :heart_eyes:
I’m definitely heading your way this spring and summer as I’m keen as mustard to up my YouTube game so need plenty of fresh footage!
Look after yourself, and hope to catch up with you soon on the island.
Cheers,
Andy :sunglasses:

Beautiful cat with fabulous eyes - great reason for a forum nickname :+1: :+1: :+1:
