Introduce Yourself!

Hi All, my name is John Vermeer and I live in Sydney Australia where we are enjoying a few days of 40 degree celsius temperatures which makes flying here interesting but
the quad motors cope well. I have flown in 44 degrees and no problem with the motors I do have to watch the batteries though.
This will seem strange to some of you as you are having lots of snow and freezing temperatures and needing to pre-warm your batteries.
I just wish to compliment those concerned with this Forum it is great, well done. Cheers, John

My name is Usman Yahaya Balarabe, from Nigeria, I am a GIS Consultant. I just returned from a training course on Remote Sensing Application using UAV at the Barcelona Drone Center, great course.
I am piloting a DJI Phantom 4. I am into using drones for surveying, mapping, agriculture and hoping to start a similar forum back home to promote the use of drones for national development.

Welcome to the forum :)
 
Hey All,
I’m Tony. I’ve been flying drones a couple of years now. I’ve been a licensed pilot since the late 90’s. I recently decided to try and turn my passion into profit. I’m looking forward to using you guys knowledge and input in helping me further my endeavor. I would rate myself a a fairly skilled pilot but I have quite a bit to learn when it comes to photography.
Blue Skies,
Tony

Welcome to the forum Carl. Glad to have you here.

What geographic region are you located and operating in? We have members here from all over the globe but with a strong concentration from USA.
 
Hello BigAI07, thank you for the welcome! I am currently located in and fly in the Florida Panhandle. I travel to Southern California and Hawaii quite often so I try to fly in those places as much as I can.
