Welcome
@LAZRTX ,
@Shindig and
@solarex . I'm in Coppell, TX (just outside of the DFW NFZ - Thank God). I got the Mavic Pro when they first came out and the
goggles 6 months later and love them both. I fly whenever I get the chance, when weather allows, when it's not too hot, at various places around DFW and always take my MP with me when I travel.
I have a question for you,
@LAZRTX: You mentioned getting a Part 107 certification because it would "open some doors" for you, in terms of where you can fly; not because you're interested in doing commercial work necessarily. Can you explain what you mean? I was thinking of getting the 107 so that I could do commercial work. I'm not familiar with how being 107 certified makes it any easier to fly anywhere. I believe that the 107 actually means you have to follow MORE STRICT guidelines than a plain recreational pilot. Maybe you know something I don't know? You're right: the regulations are geared more toward commercial flying / meaning less regulations for recreational pilots.
