New to Grey Arrows (Nottinghamshire)

Hi, dropped a reply to a question in another thread, and it was suggested I drop an intro here, so…

Based on the outskirts of sunny Mansfield/Kirkby/Sutton close to the A38 in,Nottinghamshire (well it was sunny 5 minutes ago).

I’ve been flying for a couple of years, though not very extensively. Started out with the Mini Pro 3 after spending several weeks researching mostly on YouTube, then upgraded to the Mini Pro 4 a year ago.

Currently thinking of the Mavic 4 though I very much doubt I’d ever take full advantage of its capabilities, however I’ve been really taken with everything I’ve seen of the RC Pro 2 so have just picked one up and look forward to flying the Mini Pro 4 with it.

Thinking the next move is probably the A2 CofC and possibly a Mavic Pro 4 once the CofC is completed, but I really want to find some decent training reference stuff before paying out for an online course, so more research is needed on that front it seems.

Hi, Good afternoon

Have purchased a Mini 4 Pro which arrived today after plenty of deliberation.

Also in the Nottingham area (Not far from J24).

Look forward to browsing and seeing what drone life brings!
