? Hi usrmesarge, from Indian Rocks Beach, FL. ?

See you’re another youngster to the group. A hobby for any age. What a view,...... from my chair!

Thank you for your service, us.army.sarge. ? we owe allot to our vets. Freedom

Although the Army has changed since my day. I'm thankful for those now serving that allowed me to retire out.

Greetings from St Augustine!

How is flying around St. Augustine? I'm in Central Florida and want to do some flying around St. Augustine, especially the fort and lighthouse, but I don't know if it's safe and/or allowed.

Hello everyone,
For many years I used to fly R/C planes and I used to belong to a local radio club here in Sarasota, FL. Having been retired from flying planes for a few years, I have jumped into drones. After buying my Mavic Mini, I am surprised by the layers of regulations. I am reading and watching videos to research regulations that impose limitations on this hobby. The FAA regulations are very clear, but I am confused and concerned about the imposition of local regulations, especially where I am allowed to fly, or not. The few apps that I have don't show the local restrictions, only the FAA.
I am interested in joining anyone or group to fly together and learn more about this hobby in the Sarasota surrounding area. Thanks

I havent found that there are any local restrictions. Other than FAA limitations, I did find a NPRA site but cant seem to gain acesses (National Parks and Recreation Association with a lot of archives about drones in parks.) I fly at my local park havent had any problem there. Blackstone.
