Morning all.

New here last week, I started with drones 2023 with a Mavic Mini, now sold and have a Mavic 2 Pro, used but in great nick.
I have flown RC model aircraft & helis, also control line & free flight most of my life now 65 and still enjoying it.

I currently fly control line combat competitions. Have a look at what that is on YouTube @tonycookson2841.

I look forward to flying my drone as part of my hobby and maybe taking part in some of the discussions on here.

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 and if you need to ask questions tag your query with @Challenges_Committee

Have you seen our Members Map? You may find some pilots living near you. Feel free to add yourself to the members map too :+1:t2:

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!

The Vale?

Are you referring to the Pub in Arnold / Woodthorpe or the Vale as the Vale of Belvior?
