    Bay Area Pilots Sound Off

    Know about that and pretty much bored. I often have to go South of Hollister to find lonely places. How about college campuses on weekends? The parking lots are empty

    Bay Area Pilots Sound Off

    Any other places apart from Baylands. I went towards Santa theresa and Los Gatos where you have that country lane hill. Even though more than 5 miles from Airport, the approach due to runaway alignment feels frightfully close, more so since you are on a hill few hundred feet high. Thinking of...

    Hobbyist vs Commercial Flying in South Florida

    If you make a youtube video and monetize it, does it mean commercial usage. So does it mean 107 has to be done? What if you fly for youtube only when not in USA. I guess then FAA does not count.

    Newbie from The Bay area

    I am new to Drones, and Mavic is my first serious drone. Before this I did some practice with cheap mini drones you find online. No gps, no fancy FPV, just seat of the pant controls. Now I have decided to upgrade to a Mavic. Hoping to connect with the community here and also learn about safe...
