Also, we have this great little mountain right in town just minutes from my house.  The Appalachian Trail run right through town.  Guess where else you cant fly your drone?  Yup, over the Appalachian Trail.

I would like to see some kind of paid permit system in place. Go to a park office with a registered drone and purchase a permit to fly in the parks.  This way they can keep track and if someone is harassing wild life or other visitors it would be easier to enforce penalties.

It really doesn’t seem as restrictive around here. You have to stay away from the boarder and airports. I’m trying to find out what there is for restrictions in the parks.  The guy was a complete moron and the gimbal had obvious damage, so I passed on that drone. All well, I’ll keep saving and maybe best to buy new if our dollar recovers a bit.

Bummer.  Maybe it's for the best. 

I can't locate mine by eye in the sky for the life of me.  So I bought a skin for it.

Nice, I can see mine just fine....

So I talked to a buddy of mine....he said his key is that he launches from remote locations outside of NFZ's.    Case in point.  Check out this video....(it is long)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRzkDzC641Q

He told me he was over a mile away from filmed locations and that all locations were "Yellow"  NFZ's.     He did manage to fly into Aspen Airport's air space bc again, his take off area.

I'm mostly worried about getting in trouble.  I was in Smoky mountain national park a few days ago and left the drone home because I knew I'd be tempted.  Not sure I'd even be able to take off anyway. 

Nice days have been few and far between here but yesterday evening was pretty nice so I had mine out to around a mile from the driveway.

Quit being a chickens***!  Haha.  Kidding of course.  It's nerve racking flying it that far away.  Everytime it comes back though it builds my confidence. Im working on getting to the mountain and from there a bit down range to the ski resort.

I use whatever the default is.  I haven't changed it. 

I had it out 7000 feet.  Had high wind warnings the whole way.  They eventually got the better of me and I decided to bring it in.

Favorite pic of the flight.
