Well, I have, I believe, made a bit of grand entrance. I am unapologetically the lucky winner that just won the Mavic 4 and the least I could have done is introduce myself officially now. I have just replied expressing my eternal gratitude for winning this comp. It will literally change my life in many ways. I’m new-ish to drone flying but have spent the last 7 months obsessing and using the Mini 3 I had as a gift. Like I said in my comp reply, I have not the best of luck at all of late with health and life and I turned all my focus to drone flying and rekindling my love of photography and video. Winning this will genuinely change things for me in so many ways that I can’t even express, but I promise will keep you updated along the way with my plans and progress. I do feel genuinely indebted to this forum and cannot express enough thanks, I truly can’t. I won’t sleep tonight. Diolch yn fawr as we say around these hills. Thank you.

Enjoy your new drone and remember to share your pics and vids with us.
About two-and-a-half grand, I believe.
Well done. Welcome aboard.

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.

Hi from sunny Blackpool.
Dim problwm o gwbl, as we also say around these hills (Caerdydd in my case). Just remember that it’s my turn to win next time…
Happy landings, and the same number as your take-offs!
Congratulations Monaco, from Newport. (Another WELSH newbie that won last month’s draw!)
