This area (Hidden Falls in Auburn, CA) was a great place to hike & fly drones. Sadly, it has just recently changed it's policy and is prohibiting drone flying in the remote area. Bummer

I have my P-107 and registered drone w/RID, but I have a noob neighbor who doesn't want to go through the legalities of dealing with RID & airspace issues...so I urged him to at least get a TRUST certificate. I hope he at least does that. I told him about a couple of FRIAs not far from our area...

HA! Not to venture away from OP topic, but I just recently had to do jury duty for a criminal case. Right before the choosing juror selection process, the judge asked that anyone who is an avid "tv crime show" watcher to please raise their hand. Those that did the judge asked the bailiff to...

As a person of the younger generation I welcome the era of autonomous channels that can do tasks faster and more efficiently (sometimes). However, I also have an "old soul" to know that TRUE gratification stems from knowing you've put sweat & tears into a project and it was a success instead of...

Perhaps there should be a poll rating on how often you need to educate people who confront you based on whether they're just curious vs those who think THEY KNOW the regulations. Ya know, those " You can't fly in this area" folks.

Possible downside is that they might be pinging your future flights at will now.

Crazy! That could have easily been a bird strike (i.e. "Move ____! Get out the way!) incident. Glad all went well

I'm going up to the Lake Hartwell area in the next few weeks. Do they have any current restrictions on flying there? I couldn't find anything pertaining to drones on the Lake Hartwell recreation site.

So I wonder just like any other "sensational" news story, once the public get word on "Next on Channel ___ News: A new app that helps you locate annoying drones & drone pilots in your area!," if there's going to be this huge wave of Where's Waldo happening?

I've read the info on the FAA site about RID, and although my drone is sub-250g, I'm still P107 certified and will fully comply when my module arrives...due to the fact that I may get asked to fly commercially in the future. However, I'm scratching my head over this part from the Federal...

I had a funny encounter with a lady who approached me with the usual rhetoric about no drones allowed in the area, yada, yada. I was polite (yes maam/no maam) and told her I'm certified to fly and have been obtained permission to fly in the area. SHE THEN proceeded to tell me all the nearby...

I got my drone and registered it under recreational before I got my P107. Now after getting my certificate, can I register the same drone again under P107, or do I have to delete it under recreational first and then register under P107?

Works great on my mini gen 1. It holds on pretty good and I rather use it instead of letting the drone hit the ground...that is, if I'm not using the hand grab.

Aye! From Sacramento

Welcome!!!
