Anyone looking to meet up in the 949/714 area? Beachside or park/open area.

Newbie here. Just got a Mavic.

My question...how many of you fly in Newport Beach regularly? Obviously, it's within 5 miles of John Wayne and multiple other helipads. Have you had any problems? What do I need to know?

You can text me 714-310-0686. I live in Aliso Viejo and there's a great RC park called Kite Hill nearby in Laguna Niguel. There are almost always other Phantom pilots on hand, and even a few fellow Mavic owners.

Let me know if you want to meet up some time.

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. Right now, I'm primarily focused on shooting places near Newport.

I get mine in a few weeks. I am down to meet up and do some flying! I am in Costa Mesa.

 

[BerndM]

Do they still fly RC airplanes at Esperanza HS on the bluffs there in Costa Mesa?
That could be a likely spot.

 

[Morning Droner]

Is that right by the golf course? My coworker just this morning mentioned a spot he was at this weekend which was on some bluffs. Guessing it is the same place. He said he say 2-3 people flying airplanes and a couple flying drones. Sounds like a perfect place.

Mine is supposed to ship this Friday. So maybe the following weekend?

 

[BerndM]

This is the area

 

[Morning Droner]

Yup that is the one!

I was flying there two weeks ago practicing active track with a biker friend. Lots of space there.

How is it? I'll head there next week. My drone ships Friday

Well right now it's muddy. There is an area where RC pilots fly, but I spent time flying in the wider area where bikers jump. I was there on a week day, so it wasn't crowded. Not sure how it is during weekends. For flying tracking or testing it's fine. But not scenic unlike other areas in the OC like Dana point

I be getting my Mavic on Tuesday and will be in Lake Forest CA for the next two weeks. Where are the best CR places to learn how two fly Mavic?

Lake forest has some pretty decently large parks. I get mine next week so haven't been out to any places just yet. The place referenced above from what I hear is very good. Only about 15 minutes from lake forest.

 

[MavicJay]

Thanks will check it out

Went to the place mentioned above yesterday. Saw about 3 model airplanes flying. It's nice and open! As someone else mentioned it is pretty muddy at the moment.

Do you have to sign up with the flight club there to fly? I believe the website is
www.1hss.org

Anyway, just got my mavic! Super stoked, looking to go fly somewhere tomorrow since it will be only sunny day for the next couple of days.

 

[Morning Droner]

Anyone want to fly tomorrow (Sunday). Id be willing to drive pretty much anywhere.

Where in Lake Forest are you at ? I am in Foothill Ranch. Been flying my Mavic at the local parks and a couple of times over Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park. BUT have to be careful if there is ever an emergency and the helicopters start to fly over that you can quickly head back in and land. I don't take it out too far over into the park because of that. There seems to be a person falling off their bike and hurting themselves at least once a week. :-O
