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" :)
 
I sure hope I am going to enjoy this new Autel Evo Nano+ as much as I have been enjoying my Mini 2 >.>
Also plopped down an order for a Hubsan Zino Mini Pro a few minutes ago ...

Well, finally, after a little debacle, my brand new Autel Evo Nano Plus Premium is HERE..!

I initially *attempted* to place an order from auteldrones.com when they incorrectly had the nano+ premium listed for sale at the Standard package price! I knew that would be too good to be true, one day later I got an email notification that the order had been cancelled (due to 'no inventory' - yeah sure - more like because I got an unrighteous $150 off)! So immediately after reading that email and verifying the funds had been restored to my credit card, I turned around and placed an order with autelpilot.com (for the standard full price of $949). I am happy to announce that it has (FINALLY) arrived! I am charging it up as we speak so that I can fly 'her' tomorrow..! Very excited to get her in the air..!

Also, I am STILL waiting on that Hubsan Zino Mini Pro I ordered the same day that I ordered the Nano+... Wonder if or when I will see that arrive..! Oh well, until then I will be continuing to fly my DJI Mini 2, and my Autel Evo Nano+... I may even order a DJI Air 2s while I await the mini 3..!

Either way, if ya' can't tell; I have TOTALLY caught the drone 'bug'..!

"Drone poor" is what many would say you are in my area haha. Variety is a spice of life and should apply to drones also. I'm already thinking I need a Mini SE or something for a pocket. Looking forward to your progress.
