Hi everyone, I have just got the Mini 5 Pro & I have taken a few tentative flights in the garden so far.
Its wonderful & I look forward to building my skill set & adding it to my photography kit.
I took the CAA test tonight but found the CAA web site unwieldy when trying to find the answers so I used common sense & intuition & got 36 out of 40 but I would like to read as much material as possible to keep me safe & legal.

While there probably is lots of material out there that you could read, a lot of it may be personal thoughts or interpretation, and this could be misleading or incorrect. Your best read is the official Drone Code from the CAA. You can view and download the pdf version here: https://www.caa.co.uk/media/csmfqbs1/the-drone-code-march-2026.pdf
