NW London, bought my first drone today.

Hello. I’m new to drone flying and bought my first one, a DJI Neo, today. I thought I’d start at the bottom to see if I’m any good at it before splashing out on bigger and better. Apart from the flying part of it, I’ve learnt quite a bit already, such as, as far as I can work out, the Northolt exclusion area just covers my address, so I cant even fly my Neo in my garden. 10 houses up the road I’d be clear.
I think it’s Youtube videos and this site for my education for the next week or so.

Do you get on with your neighbours well enough to borrow their back garden? :thinking:

Haven’t tried that, but I imagine it would hurt even if it doesn’t sever a digit.

Thx for all the info.

Thx.

If you can’t befriend the neighbours 10 doors down, what are your travel times to places like
Deangate, Pewley Down, Moredon and Knockholt?

The weather is closing in now, but worth keeping an eye on the Meetups category to see if anything local :wink:
