I'm in the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon and just purchased a used Mavic Pro with very little time and great accessories. One of the first things I did was register with the FAA and I am discouraged. The rules seem to say one cannot fly with 5 miles of an airport unless you notify them first. Where I live the map shows about 5 or 6 small grass strips within 5 miles of my house. I am not sure where I am supposed to fly to learn or even take shots of my own 5 acres.
