Yes, it's true. He is staying in Bedminster NJ, just about exactly 30 miles from me. The TFR zone line runs through my back yard. I take off from my deck and the I get "near NFZ" on the controller and the aircraft seems to go batty. Disconnects, won't move, lost connect. I'm 10 feet away.
My understanding is that he's going to be there for much of August.
A little Harry Potter magic later for a .400 downgrade and I can fly again.
For what it's worth, the terrain behind my house rises up 250 feet or so. Me flying at 100 feet AGL over my house harms no one. They will literally hit the mountain before they can hit my drone.
I wanted to make it work but this is silly. I've been on .800 for a bit.
I'm flying in my back yard in NW NJ, 40+ miles from a major airport and 10+ from small airports, no heliports, hospitals or jack squat near me. BS.
