The next thing to do is join a flying club to learn the ropes. Its more than likely there will be members only too glad to help out with advice or find someone near you who has a Phantom. The golden rule :- Always get permission from the landowner to take off and land.

You might like to try the following apps. The first one shows UK airspace and includes NOTAMS.
UK AirspaceAVOID for Pilots – Android Apps on Google Play and :- No Fly Drones

If you have any questions try doing a search first by clicking the magnifying glass top right. You might find your question has already been asked and it will save you a lot of time. If you can’t find an answer, then just post the question. We are only to happy to help.
Enjoy the forum.
