I just came back from a 4 week tour traveling Route 66 from Chicago to LA. I had my M2Z with me.
But to my disappointment I encountered many "No drone zone" signs and regulations on my way.
Even in places (Grand canyon) where by definition drone flying is not allowed and rational I found three no drone zone signs at the south rim.
Driving an RV I stayed at several campgrounds where the use of drones on their premises was prohibited.
I asked one of the owners why and he answered that a couple of years ago a drone pilot crashed his drone into an other RV.
Well , yes, a couple of years ago the drones were not that safe to fly and the drone were really loud.
But now the DJI drones and others have proven that time has changed.
So what I think is necessary, is to "spread the news" and show that the restrictions should be rethought.
In one of the state parks I stayed in I had a very positive experience.
I briefly explained the capabilities of my M2Z to a ranger and the ranger said go ahead as long as I stayed away from the dam and main traffic road.
So when any of you guys fly your drone try to promote safe drone flying!
