Whenever possible, I ask the home or property owner to let neighbors know I'll be flying near their homes. Also, if possible, I try to have the owner there with me while I'm flying to run interference for me.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. It helped me collect my thoughts and formulate my own response. Let's hope the FAA is listening!
