Nice. I have seen them on Youtube
Is there any way you can find a farmers field or sod farm to get in contact with the owner to get permission to fly there. Sod farm guys are usually good about that as long as you dont ruin their product.I'm interested to hear updates on this. The most recent news I saw about it (something about the companies involved) was discouraging. There's stuff I want to do with it, but I am not spending any more money on this hobby until I'm sure that next year it isn't going to be effectively ruined forever, leaving me with a bunch of planes I can only legally fly at one of the ever shrinking number of sanctioned fields available. It'll be many years before I can afford the land I want to do the things I like to do with no interference from anyone.
Honestly if you don't report your information, how can anybody track you? If you fly at a remote field with the owners permission no one is gonna call the cops on you unless they are a busybody. Where I'm from the cops will let you do stuff as long as it is not harming anybody or their property. I don't know if your local police are the same, but a lot of departments are.I'm interested to hear updates on this.

Yeah lemme join in. Operating any RC vehicle in any NYC park is forbidden except for just a couple very sparse flight-specific fields, where there are RC flight clubs that seem to own the place and are situations I just don't want to get into. I'm just a kid with a toy. A 50-something yr old kid. But for real, the general rule of thumb is you can fly in any park you want as long as you're not being stupid about it. They can see it's a super-wholesome pastime and it sure beats tagging buildings with a can of spray paint. And cops & park rangers mostly don't know the rules anyway.I'm interested to hear updates on this. The most recent news I saw about it (something about the companies involved) was discouraging.

I second that. Use your better judgement.Yeah lemme join in.

But I sure don't know your situation. Use your better judgement.
My passion is flying real airplanes, models are a tertiary hobby. I don't care about platitudes like "who's gonna report you" and "use your better judgement." I'm not in the business of potentially being busted by the FAA for something stupid because a complainer or an unpleasant cop who know the rule just so happen to be the ones who caught me breaking a stupid law. I want more information not boomer wisdom about how it'll be alright if I just ignore the rules.
Though I am a millennial, I was raised the same way. It's so funny because you sound exactly like my father. I have a feeling if you and him met you'd get along.Please dont confuse "boomers" with the generations born in the early 80s and beyond that cant grasp the concept of right and wrong only self. We "boomers" got our butts whooped when we did wrong. there was no... "Ill call child protective services if you try to discipline us in any way". Our parents responses to all that crap was simply "what makes you think you will make it to the phone". We UNDERSTOOD quickly to make proper judgement and accept accountability for our actions. It wasnt until the Politically Correct and Ebonics generations came that humanity started with its intellectual decline and only cares what gives them happiness with the least amount of effort the real problems started and has culminated into todays way of life.

I'll stay away from your food then...I get along with everybody as long as they dont talk, steal my food, or break my toys. hehehe
If it had anything to do with safety in reality its a simple solution to leave us alone at 0 to 400 ft (even down to 300 ft really for LOS) leave a 300 foot buffer zone then drone delivery or other commercial use gets 600 to 800 ft leaving a 200 foot buffer zone if we kept 0 to 400 ft. They get the remote id to interact in the air space to comply with full scale safety and then 200 foot buffer zone where full scale aviation gets 1000 ft and above.
While I have been somewhat optimistic that these regs will eventually be revised, it is quite clear that without significant changes to the proposed regs AMA will cease to exist within a few years; the death of AMA will shatter the internal oversight and organization of the hobby.
