Hello,
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Mavic Pilots forum.
I hope that you will be able to use the forum to further your safety knowledge and for the exchange of innovative ideas and as a resource for
current developments in Mavic quadcopter’s. Read the manual a few times and watch lots of Youtube videos on the subject to give yourself a good start.
Enjoy!

I have read the entire Manual cover to cover about 6 times over and watched every video I could find months before I even had the chance to order my mavic, and I still have questions. Now the hands on practice begins.

Still figuring that out for myself. Gonna try near Loch Raven this weekend, and maybe some other spots

I am around Baltimore as well. Maybe I'll see you out there.

I fly my homemade drones at Northwest Baltimore Park and Driving Range in Mt Washington. There are two soccer fields next to the driving range that provide some room to play around. I have been reading some park rules at it seems that Lake Roland is off limits. I have combed the Oregon Ridge Park website and have not found anything that prohibits it there.

Noob from PG county. Where do you fly around here since Brandywine is within the NFZ ? Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated.

I Live in Brandywine, not everything is a NFZ. Truth be told though, there are always so many low flying aircraft that I'm not really comfortable flying higher than the trees in my own backyard. Luckily I have some pretty tall trees. Ive driven up to Rockville to the Gude drive field a few times, and there is a RC field on the north bound side of 301 that i haven't checked out yet.

I'm in Waldorf. Been flying mine at a High School field which is just outside the NFZ. Message me for info of this place.

Hey Jhun!

I'm also from Waldorf, in the Dorchester Neighborhood. Usually flying around our lake and trails when no one is out.

Hey JoKhool,

I'm from Waldorf and have flown around my neighborhood and further down in southern MD. How was the RC field? Were they welcoming? Went to an AMA field in Centerville, VA and they told us we have to join the AMA to fly there and then only as a guest of someone. Needless to say we left and found another park to fly around.
