Ordered a Mavic Air 2 in Phoenix

[iaincaradoc]

I found a park near me (off the 101 and Chandler blvd) that allows rc flying, so i think that is where i will be getting my feet wet initially. You have a place you typically go?

Which park? The A.J. Chandler Park I was looking at has a 100' ceiling, and still requires LAANC.

Its called Thude Park, it bumps up against the 101. Everything ive found seems its geared towards RC planes primarily, but figured its work a look.

Haven't been flying much yet, but I've flown at Eldorado Park and Vista Del Camino Park in Scottsdale. You *do* need LAANC to fly at either location, with more altitude available at Eldorado (300' vs. the 100' at Vista Del Camino).

I've gotten some weird looks from passers-by, but the cops just nod and bike on by.

Found completely uncontrolled airspace just south of here in San Tan Valley. Actually taking a professional pilot with me this weekend who has never flown a drone.

Let me know how it is. My parents are out in Eastmark, so I get out that way occasionally.

Woohoo just in time for the long weekend!
