[QUOTE="Sparkbart, post: 26414, member: 652"] +1 This assumes you are talking the US. #4 - I've had a couple people come up to me and start questioning me about the legality of me flying my drones. From whether my drone was "registered", to should I or can I fly over people's homes and property, etc. Be aware you may run into people who "think" they know the law or just freak out over privacy stuff. So be ready to handle those situations in a polite manner... #5 - Try to pick less densely populated areas. Also areas where there isn't alot of environmental interference. Stay away from crowds or areas that may seem questionable with regards to over-flying... #6 - Be careful even if you launch outside an area that doesn't allow drones. There is a youtube video of a guy who launched outside of a Wildlife Preserve and flew into it and captured video of wildlife. I can't remember the details, but I seem to remember he was close enough the Antelope or Deer he was videoing looked up at it. I can't recall if it spooked them or not... In any event, the Park Rangers saw his video, tracked him down, and handed him an expensive ticket for disturbing the wildlife (which is against the Preserve's rules). [/QUOTE]
