There are no restrictions around Buffalo Bayou that I am aware of. It is not in a no-fly zone and there are no signs posted. I fly there quite a bit as do a lot of other people. There is almost always at least one drone in the air on the weekends (I run along the paths quite a bit).

Yes. I have a need to fly just inside the 5 mile boundary. I filled out the paperwork with the FAA and within 24 hours I had authorization to fly anywhere within the boundary as long as I stay below specified altitudes. Good for 1 year.

Yes. I suppose I am a triathlete. A good one? No. But a triathlete non the less. I didn't know Memorial Park didn't allow drones. I was running there not too long ago and saw what I thought were some good spots to fly and film.

I predict we get a message last week asking "why did my drone crash". Seems like a fairly ambitious project for a new pilot literally taking the drone out of the box and flying a mission like this.

I am not a Mavic owner (yet...still working on it) but have been following its developments since it came out. While watching the tv series Lethal Weapon a few weeks back, the Mavic made an appearance. Of course in true Hollywood fashion this one had 2 way audio capabilities. It was a short...
