Hello pilots, I am pleased to join the community.

Hi, I am Carlos and I am pleased to join the community. I am based in Puerto Rico.
When I was a kid I dreamed about becoming a pilot and flying in the air force. That never happened but now I am a step closer to being a drone pilot.
Before deciding on a drone I read quite a lot of posts on the community and saw a large number of online reviews and YouTube posts. Finally went for the Parrot Anafi and I am very pleased with it.
I hope to become FAA drone certified. I hope to learn a lot about drones, safety in flying and applicable regulations.
Thanks

Welcome to the Forum. I think you will enjoy your membership. There are many other members happy to provide assistance for any issues you may have, and those that may need information you bring. A lot of good information is already stored in existing threads.

Couple easy things:
1.) The search Icon is your friend. It's the magnifying glass near the upper right of the screen when you scroll all the way up. It can find many answers you will never find by yourself.
2.) Be aware that you won't always get a quick response. There are times when many other members are on line, and sometimes only a few. A response may not show up until the right person sees it.
3.) Be aware the forum is Global. If you are exchanging with a member on the other side of the world, response can get delayed and out of sequence due to a difference in local time.
4.) Although the Forum is global, the language is English. It is customary to translate other languages to English. Many members also include the original language post to help alleviate translation errors.
5.) Review the forum rules (on the bottom right). There are not too many, but it is important they are followed to keep the Forum a useful and happy place for everyone.

When I was a kid I dreamed about flying, too. Then I really did have a flying career for 40+ years. Now I'm retired and newly into drones, and I'm having just as much fun than I did as a pilot but at 1/1000 the cost and NO risk!!

Take your time and learn to be a precise pilot. I'm continually surprised at how much I still have to learn about flying a drone after 5,000 hours of aircraft time. I think I would have been better served by being an RC pilot!
