[QUOTE="Smitty, post: 25091, member: 5501"] Hello all, So I just received a Spark for Christmas. I was aware of what I thought were most of the restrictions through the FAA but after doing more and more research, it seems like anywhere I go, I am likely looking at some flight restriction. I live in the Raleigh area of North Carolina and it seem like I would be severely limited in where I can fly. I have had it out twice, just yesterday I was at a local park flying where no one was around and as I was leaving I saw a police officer heading to the exact spot I was just flying in. I see this park mentioned in searches as a good place to fly and have also seen videos of it, but I find it highly coincidental that the cop was driving to my exact spot and no one else was around. I am honestly thinking of just returning the item and eating the restocking fee. I am not sure if it is worth it. Any one else in this area have any tips or knowledge to share? How do all of you handle determining ok places to fly. I have looked at some of the apps and see some helpful information, but it doesn’t cover local ordinances and most park websites don’t have any information about UAS flights. Help, really torn in deciding if it’s worth it. [/QUOTE]
