Hi my name is Ian and I’m a Droneaholic. Oh, sorry wrong group ha ha.
I have got caught up in this mess for a little while now and am a recent member of this fantastic club.
I am still very much a newbie but am learning as fast as I can. I am 67 years old and much of this is still new to me but I am loving it so far. My first Drone was a dji Mini 4K, I have since added a second hand dji Air 2S and a dji Neo for the younger members of my family who (through no fault of my own) are now starting to get very interested in this very compulsive hobby (lifestyle).
Thanks for all the help you have given me so far just purely by browsing random parts of the forum (and a few specific ones). I am looking forward to eventually meeting up with some of you.
Thanks
Ian

Hi @icarver 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!

Thank you, several of the points you raise I have already joined/used, but I was unaware of the challenges. I will be having a look at them ASAP.
Many thanks
Ian
