    Default Fly while you can....

    They are getting more and more restrictive on the flying areas. To many doing crazy stuff with them. They are a blast and you can do so much with them you should check out SpyderTV or you tube for some great spyder footage from Pierre Poliquin...

    Eagles are so pretentious. They think they own the skies.

    I've been thinking of getting one. My question is, Central Park can be busy, is there some regulation about flying with other people in the area? I'm thinking of flying near a beach area where there is a big open field, and others walk thru.

    be careful around fort totten. with the bridge there your not allowed to take pictures of it since 9/11. they get very upset. at OBI or oak beach inn, that is a good place. also the upper lot at cap tree

    don't worry john, i'm not looking to fly over any bridges, tunnels or airports but i may fly over your house to watch your dogs
    or peep in on a neighbor. my 45 year old friend is dating a 28 year old so he knows i will be flying with camera on near his
    window.

    Default New Drone

    Since you are a new pilot I would recomend you fly in a WIDE OPEN AREA, not in your living room. You will crash, so get outside have fun enjoy!
    Be sure you get registered with the FAA

    well got my drone running this past sunday and as of yesterday i am still worried about crashing and losing it.
    went up 350' yesterday and the camera works great, only flying while it is in sight for now. keeping away from
    trees and the street.
