Hi guys,
Thought I'd say hi before throwing my thoughts out there.
I'm from the Netherlands, 33 and love anything electric. Especially if RC is involved (used to race truggies quite some years back, the smell of nitro and high pitched sound of the engines still gives me goosebumps, but €300,- weekends don't really work with 2 small kids).
Long time drone enthousiast but never found one that I liked and could afford, until I won a Parrot AR2.0 last year in a contest (that may or may not have been rigged as I know the guy that owns the company personally).
I haven't flown it a lot as it was end of summer when I got it and we've had terrible weather all fall/winter/spring, too much wind to fly more than lift off, panic, land.
Because of that (and poor maintenance on my side) the battery is dead now, so waiting for replacement on it's way from China (opted for an alternative replacement including different charger, more flight time and cheaper than a single Parrot replacement).
Can't wait to go back into the air.
On a side note, I am looking into buying one of the cheaper 'throw away drones' for more convenient transport, as the Parrot is quite big and replacement parts are not too cheap (for a single replacement motor I can buy a Syma-style drone), I'm quite carefull with it.
So, yeah. Hi.
