    Do you fly as much as you thought you would?

    Not last year sadly . I was discouraged and afraid to fly my mavic at first because of the flyaways I've heard about on forums and regulations surrounding the hobby and only flew about three times. But I'm motivated get fly more this year maybe find a job doing it. I have a 336 registration...

    Airspace confusion

    Yeah this helps.. at home I'm right in the middle of two airports based on the UAV forcast app on android. Is there anything about not flying in certain national parks in LA County . I tested out my drone in El dorado park where a group of people flew their RC planes and copters.
