West Yorks /NYorks meet?

whats that?

ā€œSpot the droneā€

sorry Dave pictures really small couldnā€™t make out what it was

Same size as the original ā€¦ on my screen.
For some reason itā€™s not opening your image to full res.

Pass us some binoculars!

well what an interesting evening!

Thanks to Dave and Pippa for sorting us out.

Big thanks to all present for helping me get my Air up and flying around. I have the confidence now to get flying on my own :sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses:

Sounds like a great meet guys, certainly the biggest GADC meeting thus far!

@Yorksnproud has rightly been awarded the ā€˜Over and Aboveā€™ badge for opening his home to you all AND providing food and drink :+1:

Dave, if you host something like this again, please donā€™t pick Wednesdays, itā€™s the only day of the week I canā€™t make it :blush:

Thanks again for hosting, sounds like a great time was had by all, despite the weather!

Cheers @Yorksnproud :beers:

Thanks Rich, it was our pleasure and thanks for the badge.

It really goes to show that for people new to Drones, the best way to give them confidence is to put them with one or two experienced pilots, so they can see first hand what their Drone is capable of and how to get the best from it.

And that was the whole purpose as far as I was concerned, of organising a meet-up.

Although I wasnā€™t new to flying at 400 feet, I appreciate that it is daunting to someone who hasnā€™t even seen a Drone at that height before.

Itā€™s all about confidence, because letā€™s face it, these things are not toys, they are very expensive sophisticated pieces of equipment that are capable of going very fast and very high, and we donā€™t want to crash or lose one.

So hereā€™s hoping that more meets happen where we can not only help those that have just purchased a Drone, but those seriously interested in getting started and need some guidance.

Oh and Wednesdays are out in future mate.

I am over in Halifax, there are quite a few of us in West Yorks.
Always up for a meet, just drop a message on here, am sure the West Yorks contingent will make one in.
Maybe not today though, just looked out of the window and itā€™s pi**ing it down.
Cheers
