Flying in LA during Quarantine

[callahoohoo]

Anyone know if the RC Park in Van Nuys is open right now? It's 'essential' right?

Any other great places to legally fly right now? I'm also planning to get my Part 107 learning done during quarantine just cause, why not...

Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

Welcome to the forum! I typically consult this site whenever I fly somewhere new: The 5 Best Places to Fly a Drone in Los Angeles (2020) | UAV Coach

Good luck on your Part 107 studies!

Thanks for your response!

Updates:
1. Got my Part 107 with 100%! Very proud. I did the RemotePilot101 course and it really helped.

2. The RC Park in Van Nuys is open, but if you have a DJI drone, they won't take off there anymore! DJI has it classified as a No Fly Zone all of a sudden. Because of Van Nuys airport (which makes sense), but the updated map now bans the DJI from taking off at all. So frustrating. I complained to DJI and they said talk to the FAA, so I wrote to them, but heard nothing back.

I went up north yesterday far from society and flew in some random mountains. Which was nice.
