Sounds like a plan man

 

[Knight Hawk]

We may want to cancel today, rain is coming around 6-7PM. Maybe tomorrow or even Saturday.

Ok sounds good

Not only is it about to rain but a 5k finish line is in the park. I walked up to a police officer and ask if it was ok to fly the Drone (just to see what he was going to say) and made him aware that I live in the house that it 10 feet from the park. He said, "Go ahead." I feel that the public and law enforcement are more relaxed on drones since the FAA stepped in.

Dude you look like a pro well done man well done looks great

 

[Slayerstwin]

Taking the drone out today?

 

[Knight Hawk]

Thank you but NO I DON'T... It's just smoke and mirrors. I have a lot of clips of me jerking the drone left and right, countless video wasted. But, the point is for me to keep fly so that I would get better. It if wasn't TOO windy I would be in the park flying now.

 

[Slayerstwin]

Did you hear the news the FAA lost in court now we do not need to register our drones unless you are licensed commercial

 

[Slayerstwin]

And for a hobbyist 400 feet is more of a guideline then a rule so that means we can fly over 400 feet it's just dangerous in my opinion

 

[Slayerstwin]

Not saying you want to but I have flown with my drone in 30+ mile an hour winds and it does great it just drains the battery a little bit faster

 

[Knight Hawk]

Wow, great but scary at the same time.

 

[Slayerstwin]

Only if you are close to trees LOL

 

[Knight Hawk]

I just hope things go in a positive direction for everyone.

 

[Slayerstwin]

Yeah I know

Earlier today I was talking to a sergeant with New York State troopers on the phone. He was returning my phone call that I left on Tuesday. Asked me to be careful but also to have fun. Yes me if I had any plans this weekend and I told him about this weekend. That I maybe flying near the Hudson river this weekend. He asked me (if I could) to stay away from one location because they'll be helicopters flying low.

After the phone call I was thinking that it may be nice to camp some type a committee with drawl hobbyist in law-enforcement. Maybe something like this could help make things better between the two communities.

Cool
