Hello, I am based in Edinburgh and have recently been gifted a Quinux H8 drone. Got my Operator and Flyer ID sorted, now just need to get outdoors for my first flight.
I managed to download the Drone Assist app so I can see no-fly areas nearby which seems useful, will check out the “resources for a beginner” thread on here also, meantime any other tips would be much appreciated - if anyone knows of a group that meets in/around Edinburgh please let me know, checked out meetup.com but didn’t find anything.

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.

Hi You have great weather, with little wind to practice right now. I live in Peebles, so if you ever want to meet up in the Lothians let me know. If this is your first time with a drone, might be best to stay away from the usual tourist sights in Edinburgh until you get used to flying. I have a mini 4 pro and used to have a mini 2. so if you want to meet up let me know, before the weather turns lol
