Newbie saying hi - Buckinghamshire

[MK06UK]

Hello all,

I'm fairly new to flying drones, I have recently sold my Phantom 3 Standard and made a slight upgrade in buying the Phantom 3 Advance, just waiting for the good weather to make my maiden flight with it.

I made approximately 30 flights with my Standard, some were only brief and others were longer. Currently only using the drone for non commercial flights, however, if I can persuade my boss to pay for the CAA course I can then offer my services at my place of work for gutter inspections etc and talk him into buying a Mavic Enterprise.

If anyone is local to me and can advise on some great locations I'd be very appreciative. Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire boarders.

Many thanks

Welcome to the group. Hope you will got that CAA course.

Thanks Phil,

It would certainly benefit the company as currently we pay external companies to carry out the inspections, which off course isn't too cheap. Equally it will benefit myself. I have already made it clear that I am not prepared to carry out inspections without the correct course of action in place.

Thanks Davious,

Thankfully where we are located the tress wont be an issue and all cables are under ground.
Partly the reason why I made the upgrade was for the range, that being said I only tend to fly fairly close. I guess it's a confidence thing at the moment.
