Howdy and welcome from Pearland, TX

Thank you neighbor. I’m happy to be here and look forward to hearing about some nice places to fly. There are some AMAZING pictures of Houston that I have seen taken by drones. Although I do not believe I will get to the level of professional photography that I have seen, it is a great place to strive for.

Thank you wjkrysalc. So far my little birds view of the world is about 100' up and 200' out, but I hope to work on it

Sorry I just saw this. I am about 11 miles north in Kingwood. I'm relatively new to Texas so it still kind of blows me away that we are still part of the city limits.

I moved here in 2006 from Ft Lauderdale. Harris county/Houston is huge. with all the chemical plants and refineries there are several restricted fly zones so keep that in mind

I have controlled airspace all round me with the hospitals and life flight pads.
It has been good for me to learn the apps and make sure I am cleared to fly.
