I>m a HOA Board member. In order to introduce a "restriction" like yours it has to be voted upon by all the home owners & pass by a 60% margin. I suggest rereading your HOA documents & see if a similar rule to "Amend" the rules, Good Luck, TonyK

I can just see it. We are all at a DJI convention equipped with this device & have a great water balloon fight. Just kidding. LOL

Being ex-military I follow new technology developments. This is a very interesting press release of a recon drone helicopter, 6.6" long, that is going from development into full production & deployment. DJI owners will see many features that we have in our drones. Army to Buy $39.6 Million...

Mr. Porky, Wow, you have a great weather web site! it's far more informative than any weather site across the pond here in the States. I'm very impressed. All the best, Tony

I apologize, I didn't know the meaning of Tfr (Temporary Flight Restriction). Needed to research it I haven't gotten that far into my Part 107 training. I learned something new. Thanks Tleedom. Tony

Not all Restricted Areas are permanent. My local college becomes a Temporary Restricted Area on the day a football game is played starting 2 or 3 hours prior to game time & extends well past the time the game has finished. You have to read the NOTAM.
