Just put in an order for the DJI Spark Fly More combo with Jessops 
Also bought the DJI Care Refresh with this being my first drone lol
Hopefully get some flight time this weekend. Any Android apps which are a must to show the no fly zones/etc?
Thanks!

Another vote for Drone Assist. Very good app.

Also, UAV forecast is handy for checking flying conditions / wind and Solar forecasts

take my word of advice
Maplin customer service is not good
dropped my Mavic pro off 10 days ago with a motor failure or ESC failure, with all accessory's, called customer service today and they have no update only that i dropped it into store
said they will update me when they have had a look at it, i asked how long it will take (only got it in june prob two hour use in that time) to be told they have no idea.

Wind kind of does that.... It's also a racer I assume?

Had a interesting one the other day on firework night. Out in back garden watching the fireworks when all of a sudden hear lots of buzzing and a out of control drone flys over the top of us. (About 10 ft) and slams into next doors garage wall.
We went to have a look and it was a dji phantom.
Few minutes later we were milling about the front talking to our neighbours about it when a car rolled up asking if something had crashed nearby.
Anyway next door gave it back in its mangled state. Turns out this person was 2 streets away. I took a pic of his car and reg. Reckon it's worth reporting to police?

Just got an email from DJI saying they've replaced my sparks mainboard and have shipped it back to me today so should have it back on Monday, that's not too bad considering I only sent it back just under 2 weeks ago, also shows that buying a "grey import" still gets warranty

Just stick the batteries in Lipo safe bags and you should be fine.
