Going to start looking at some dates soon, I think Harden Moor is a good shout as it's near Modelsport so can get a few rallied up from there.

I think I'll still go for the DJI HD setup, it looks best suited for me. I'm still leaning towards an iFlight as well. Going to wait until March I think as this weather has been awful recently, last 3 weeks probably couldn't even fly a drone here! So plenty of time to keep reading and watching YouTube videos.

Watched a couple of episodes of Jack Reacher tonight it is an easy good watch, a bit cheesy at times but some good action. 😄

It smashed, was doing 60-70mph and with all the traffic and rain, I didn't think twice about it and kept on going. Until I've looked up the price of a new wing mirror.

Just looked up Reacher, it gets good reviews, will have to try that as my next series!

Yeah it's a good one! I lost a wing mirror from the wind, not sure how, I guess someones knocked it while I've been parked and I've not noticed then it's just taken off in the weather! Luckily it just bounced off road behind me and not into another car.

I'm heading up A66 soon which has been closed since midnight due to snow, cleared and reopened now!

Someone else asked about if I got nausea easily, I think this is a common issue for some! From what I've read, the DJI camera+goggles is the best HD digital system out there, what all the proper drone users have if not using analogue.

I really enjoyed this had to swallow back the tears a couple of times, ha. Also a good series. I thought I'd resurrect this thread as I'm always battling to find new stuff. I not so long ago watched a series on Netflix called "Maid", it's a very immersive story about a girl struggling to live with an abusive boyfriend in Canada and has to be one of the best written series I've watched for a long time, it doesn't sound like much of an interesting plot but it's solid writing. Watching "Anne with an E" at the moment, which an alright easy watch. Tried watching The Witcher but gave up after a few episodes, didn't grip me despite the hype it has got.

Cheers Steve! I've seen all retailers have slashed it down to £999. Wonder if there's something new on the horizons? I'm going to keep doing my research, as the iFlight stuff still looks appealing.

Well... I was going to go with an iFlight Nazgul F5/Evoque.... however the DJI FPV keeps looking tempting which... is kind of annoying because I wanted more of a build your own hobby grade model. With the DJI FPV, I like the idea of the proper return safety mode, hold altitude (hover), 20min fly times. It really does tick some big boxes these build your own drones can't do, or do well. My only 2 grips with the DJI FPV is the camera, which while good, I can't upgrade or use a GoPro. and I also don't like the risk of breaking it then not being able to do the repairs myself!!! I'm going to do some more thinking, your thoughts are welcome though, price wise they are about the same for a full setup. £1200ish.

If I've gone quiet it's because I'm waiting for the Chinese New Year to end so I can order stuff.

It would definitely be in Yorkshire I think! When the weather is better. I'll have to check that place out sometime Jack! I'll start looking into things. 🙂 Do you have a route you could draw on a map or something Jack so I can get a better idea?

CML genuinely care about putting the customer first, they are the best supplier in the UK in my experience. They supply some good brands, FTX, HoBao, Team Associated and Corally.

That is fixed now, please let me know if not. Cheers.

Website had a few more hiccups today but now seems all okay! 🙂 @Kpowell911 - I fixed the contact form. Thanks for letting me know.

Oh yeah that is wacky! I'll look into fixing that tomorrow. But otherwise site should be okay now.

Don't suppose you remember what they were?

No updates sadly. 😞

Struggling to find good UK retailers for drones though! Everywhere seems to have no stock of things. Any recommendations?

We are currently having a few server issues and hope to be back up soon. I'll let you know when it's back. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you need to contact the store you can with [email protected]

I've been thinking a lot about this and decided to (potentially) jump in the deep end. I believe it's something I will really enjoy. So that being said, I'm stepping up the game here and hope you trust me being an experienced RC car user, that a drone won't be too overwhelming for me compared to most novices. I've done some research, the amount of options to building a drone is remarkable. I'm led to believe 5" frames are a good balance for FPV cinematic / agile shots. I'm after something that is well balanced to do a bit of everything. I saw the iFlight Titan DC5 frame being recommended as one of the best, it allows for DJIs HD Goggle system, which I've also read is the best and I'd prefer this over analogue due to the clearer display - which is a big reason I'd like to do FPV is for the immersion. I came across this in the UK: https://www.quadcopters.co.uk/titan-dc5-with-dji-air-unit-bnf But would still need goggles, radio and battery. There's 2 options here also, 4s and 6s... now I would normally side with 4s however the extra fly time on 6s is appealing... but will it just be stupidly fast? Can this be reduced in the ESC (I believe called a stack?). I also would like to get a GPS module so I can track it if I lose it, should you have any ideas on what to get - though I have absolutely no plans to go further than an open field/garden until I've practiced thoroughly. I certainly do not expect to be an expert any time soon and will be patient practicing here. Once I'm more comfortable, the aim is to strap a GoPro on for filming. The new DJI FPV was tempting but I like the idea of a module kit more, it's also cheaper and with the option of using cameras other than DJI for cinematic filming, gives many better options. But the reviews are generally really good.

I have no idea, lol. I wouldn't of thought so.

What about something like this? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hubsan-x4-fpv-storm-racing-drone-pack-with-lcd-screen-and-goggles-425298
