Recently got a mavic and would love to fly it. Everywhere I look, national, state, county, town parks all restrict flying. Private hotels/resorts...also banned.
Make 107 certification mandatory, charge fees for permits, restrict flying times or launch areas, whatever....but these outright bans in the interest of safety/privacy are just wrong and I am not aware of any proof that drones are dangerous or violate privacy if operated in a safe manner with some reasonable privacy standards.
Is anyone aware of any local groups of UAV pilots who have successfully lobbied for permission to fly?
I am hoping that with the AMA getting friendlier to drone pilots there will be some strength in numbers.
