    New pilot from NYC & Catskills, New York

    Thanks for the invitation and the links! I'll let you know when I am a member of AMA. I went tubing in Phoenicia in the 90s and it's still a thing; hoping to get my daughter to try it someday :)

    Incorrect Collision avoidance

    I think you can turn off obstacle avoidance, mid-flight, temporarily, to avoid this. I haven't actually tried that, yet. The setting is the first switch under the Visual Navigation menu.

    It's called Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, which is in the borough of Queens in New York City. Maybe I'll get there at some point. Thanks!

    Thanks! Not sure if you can get permit. I'm not commercial so I don't expect to try to get a permit. There are a few parks where you can fly, some require club membership which I will look into.

    Thanks! I'm from the city but also southeast Catskills ~30 mins from I-87 near Phoenicia.

    Hello All! Amateur photographer and new drone pilot. I haven't been to any of the permissible spots in NYC yet and Manhattan is one big no-fly zone... So I'm expecting to get more flight time in upstate Catskills region. Anyone flying up there?
