Hi everyone, just bought an Atom 2 from Costco yesterday (on offer at the moment)

I’ve never flown a drone before, the last thing I had as an RC was about 35 years ago.

If there is anyone around NE Lincs that would like to give me some tips I would really appreciate it

Many thanks

Phil

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

Looking for recommendations of places to fly? Check out our interactive map on Drone Scene and please feel free to add locations of your own too :smiley:

Wondering whether you can fly a particular model of drone under particular circumstances? Check out Good 2 Go where you’ll soon find the answer :blush:

Have you seen our Members Map? You may find some members living near you.

Feel free to add yourself to the members map too!

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.

Welcome once again!

Hi Phil @Taximan from the North West :waving_hand:t2:

Looking at the Members Map you’ve got a good few neighbours :slight_smile:

There aren’t many local meetups happening at the moment due to the weather, but spring is just around the corner :smiley:

Hi Phil @Taximan, welcome to the club! I’m just across in Healing but grew up in Grimsby.
When I got my drone, I went to Weelsby Woods for my first few flights till I got used to the controls, it’s not a bad place to start. Happy to meet up there sometime if that would help. There’s also the local group on here @group-yorkshumber

Thank you for the message. That would be great, to be honest I’m really nervous going out for the first time. Weelsby woods sounds good

Yeh I had the same jitters to start with but once you get flying they do go. Having a nice calm day for your first flight will also help with that. Will have to see how the weather goes, looks like it’s going to be a bit unsettled again for a few days.
