Thank you again. You have been a real help.

Thank you for the reply. I will look at those on the chart. I am totally new to this, so I am often left with more questions than when I began. When you mention that the Capitol and City Island are within airspace for flying commercially, are you implying that they are restricted flying under...

I apologies that the link was bad. I copied it straight from the Leheslature web site.

What do you all think of the new PA Legeslation, Act 78? By my reading, it criminalizes any drone activity where any back yard is visible. I am surprised that there hasn’t been an outcry over this new law. I especially thought that they news industry and real estate industry have not spoken up...

Thank you for this thread discussion. I am interested in hearing your thoughts on places to fly near Harrisburg now that the revised Regs have been passed. Does that change your thoughts on the Rockville Bridge? What other spots are good for flying in the area?
