This will be my first drone, waiting on the Mavic Pro.

Hi, I just received my Mavic. Did you find a place to fly? I live out at E. Ocotillo and S. Higley.

For distance?

If so Willis and Price Road off the HWY 202!

Just go back as far as you can and you can fly for ten miles over nothingness!

They are not as good as they look! The wind off them is tough for distance flights!

Chandler is the Best I know of

Ok I was going to look at Desert Breeze park. Where in Chandler does everyone fly?

Corner of Willis and Price road in Chandler is good

Ok cool. How does it work at airports that don't have towers? I'll probably take my first flight there at Willis and Price

Well there are two where we fly. Gila Memorial Airport for example. But it's abandoned and nothing flies there.

Me and several others don't call the tower there. We just fly towards the casino or toward I-10

This is what it looks like

You can see the airport in the bottom of my screen shot

I don't know but I'd say there are some pretty good views in the Superstitions...

Agreed, just mainly taking about distance runs

Yes sir. I went there Sunday Morning and it was all good until the sun came over my neck. It was brutal. I leave my car running and sit in the passenger window using the door frame as a tripod.

I can't wait, today was 115-ish I'm over this heat!

 

[AZrrt]

Yea will be much nicer in about a month. I think I’ll try and go out early Thursday morning and see what I can do until it gets too warm

Yeah this week is just plain ol hot. It's like the last punishment!

I moved here from Washington and I miss going to the ocean or the Puget Sound and flying as far as I could imagine.

My advice is to get a small chair and folding table. Even if it's hot flying and sitting down is better.

The sun comes at six o clock. So any earlier and it Shoukd be cool.

I’m going to try and fly at Willis and a price this morning. I downloaded the “AirMap” app and pretty much this area and all of Phoenix is in the orange. You guys don’t call chandler airport before flying so you?

No. It's class D airspace. Stay under 400' and you're good.

 

[TheLightSpeed!]

I usually fly 63' altitude here! Occasionally you'll see low flying prop planes like cesna's
