Not entirely "new" to piloting drones, but not "very experienced" either... Took first flight 30 NOV 2021, and have already managed to log 129 km (80.15688 miles) ~ 16.3 hours ~ 75 "total flights" (which seems like a 'good amount' for the time-span to me)... I am originally from Chicago (born/raised in the 'burbs [near Schaumburg], and now have a house in Chicago 'proper'), and also just bought land in AZ near the Phoenix/Casa Grande area (vacant, going to build a house on it!)... So I will be back and forth between IL and AZ until that is all done! First drone was a DJI Mini 2, and have been rather impressed with it, honestly. Although I am already starting to study for my Part 107, I have also been coming across the horror stories of DJI's GEOFENCING, so as of a few minutes ago; I just placed an order for my Autel Evo Nano+ premium bundle..! I am SO looking forward to it's arrival, despite the fact that I am well aware (as it stated on the site) shipping doesn't even begin until 15 JAN 2022... In the meantime I shall continue to study for my Part 107, and probably start looking into other drones to add to my "fleet"... Among other life "necessities"
