Sunny and 23c here today,  we might get a shower over night or 6am which will be a pain for me to fly sunrise.

Nice enough!

At least it was dry for a change.

Looks like the clouds were torn in half to let the daylight in.  Nice capture.

I awoke to blue sky, but by the time I'd got up and got ready, the clouds and rain had rolled in

Good job too as you'd have got wet if you'd been any quicker.    Is it rain all day now?

Well I try.   And I do like to repeat myself too.

DAFlys Posted at 9-25 23:48
thanks DT.

You're very welcome DA.  

Lots of new posts on the forum yesterday.  Guess the release of the Mini 4 Pro created most of those new posts.

Is that the reason for the number of echoes we get from you?

Quite probably,  it's catching.

She went to the NHS covid website and booked there with the local pharmacy which is a short walk away.


Did you see the delays are Gatwick caused by C19,   they are short of air traffic controllers.

I caught it on the internet news.
Our flying days are over I would say. so not an issue for us.

I'm happy to see it has.

Seems Mini 4 has generated a lot of excitement for sure.  And some disappointment.

I'm watching the YT for new postings to see how the "average" pilots are liking or disliking things about the Mini 4 Pro.  This is strictly out of curiosity as I'm firm now on not getting the Mini 4 Pro.  Not saying I will not take a long, hard look at the Mini 5 though.  So far, the Air 3 really fits the bill for me.

Im still on the fence,  even though I managed to persuade SHMBOd to use her Argos points for it rather than mine.

That was nice of SWMBO.  Now you just have to make the decision to buy or pass.  Tough call I'm sure.  How will the new 120m restriction already on the Mini 4 Pro effect your decision?

The 120m limit didn’t kick in here and the new firmware removes it for the eu.

Well that certainly worked out well.

It's temporary until the law actually starts in January.   But they will sell more on the run up to Christmas now.

Got to love how that worked out.

They've also said they will be applying it to the Mini 3 so that could cause some hate.

I bet that does cause some hate.
