    Flying in red zone

    IF you want to fly in red zones, try to buy a non-gps drone. I fly in red zones all time, but not with my DJI since it will never take off. Haven't had an issue in 2-3 years. OR you can have the DJI drone upgraded by a third party that will do away with the nanny parameters/restrictions.

    Refusal to Register With FAA

    Me personally, I don't see the reason to register if I am flying as a hobbyist. I've been flying helicopters and quadcopters for some time now. Before I ever purchased a DJI product, I used home built race quads or bought them already built from forums then bought prebuilt ones like Walkera...

    Anyone flying just for fun?

    Yup, just fly for fun. When I want to really have fun, i'll take out my racing drones. Other than that, I fly for fun and for a few amateur shots.

    Best place to buy a Mavic or other DJI drone

    I bought my Mavic Air from BestBuy, only because I had won a gift card from our company picnic for $100, plus all the points I accumulated from buying things there in the past few months. All in all, I had $225 in redeemable cash. Bought the Fly More combo and called it a day.

    Inexpensive Landing Pad

    I bought the PGYtech landing pad for $10 on ebay a few weeks ago. I haven't used it yet, but its good to have around.

    New York City Area

    It's NYC, so be careful. If a cop sees you they will respond harshly. I fly around the Bronx and Brooklyn, but once I see a cop car I hide my controller from sight and start looking down, as to not draw attention to myself. Not that I am doing any wrong, its just their mentality to attack and...

    Your favorite toy drone?

    My Favorite which I still use to really entertain my kids, is the Syma X5C. I've upgraded the battery to a lipo 1s and it really moves in sport mode. Doing the flips is what my kids love the most.

    Cops Called

    I got the cops called on me yesterday while flying my quadcopter. I don't like the use the term "DRONE". Since the word drone was derived from the military for an unmanned vehicle to bomb places or to maneuver a vehicle to a place were soldiers would not go due to safety reasons. Anyways, I'm...

    Trip to NYC and New Jersey, where can I fly?

    I usually go to Hoboken, NJ, right at Frank Sinatra Park, when not much people are around. Get the whole NYC skyline view. About 10-15 minutes drive from Dickinson. Or alone that whole water way(frank sinitra drive). If you drive along you will see a nice pier with a skate park next to it. Fun...

    Trip to NYC and New Jersey, where can I fly?

    You can fly anywhere, we are surrounded by yellow circles. According to the message i get, its due to a class d airport and a bunch of heli pads. If you want, go down the hill from Dickinson, once you past the bridge, go towards Ferris High School. Got to make a right and then another right. You...
