My Mav will be here tomorrow!!! YAAAY! Been watching videos, reading the manual continuously for 3 weeks and I'm soooo ready for some hands-on!
Any fellow pilots nearby?

Good plan. I really don't think you can over-educate yourself on drone operation. I've been scouting out flying areas here in Lincoln City and it looks like clear-cuts are going to be my main flight arena for the time being. I'm hoping to talk with local area ranchers and farmers about using their pastures.I'm in Lompoc and work on base....I'm itching to get my mavic as well, I should have it on the 21st. I'm educating myself as quickly and thoroughly as possible...

I'm in southern OR, but I was just visiting family near LC and we got two perfectly wind-free mornings at the beach.
I'll be back in August for the solar eclipse!

Hey Erock I will be flying in LC from August 10th - 26th. I am staying at a private beach house on the golf course at Salishan Resort for the eclipse. Let me know if you want to team up...

Sounds like you were at Yaquina Head Lighthouse. I am getting pumped up for my trip which starts this weekend through August. Will you be in the area at all in the next 3 weeks?Just got mine 2 weeks ago and am thrilled! I'm from Southern Oregon and was up in Newport a week ago and WINDS were up about 18mph... but the mav handled it like it was on rails! I'm totally stoked on getting out and flying more!! I did stop by the lighthouse at the State Park and they were polite and stated that I was not to fly the drone in the park but was welcome to fly it north or south of the park... I did a bit of recording with it handheld to test out the gimble... and it didn't do too bad for being "manually maneuvered" LOL I definetly will be getting out to the coast more now!
Great shot of the spit I will be staying at Salishan Resort at a beach house in this photo. Lets hook up at Nana`s in Newport and do some flying folks.
