Hello everyone, I am very new and without a drone at the moment. I had originally flown a few toy drones starting 6-7 years ago but nothing lately. Those were nothing like what is out now for similar pricing (my parrot AR wasn’t much cheaper than the mini). It seems like getting back in now with something nicer could be amazing and relaxing, especially with the cameras and range.
I keep getting millimeters from the buy button on a MA2, but I live in the southern Twin Cities suburbs with a no flight of model planes ordinance in our city parks (calling Monday for clarification), it’s basically solid orange on AirMap for miles on miles largely due to airports everywhere, and concerns that it will only get harder to fly within regulation.
I can basically throw a stone in any direction and hit a park or lake, which if the city says it’s ok I have no problem jumping back in. Being able to take a small walk and have flight makes it a daily option. Having to drive to fly restricts it a bit depending where I would need to go.
I am very curious what everyone else does in the metro area, if there are reliable areas that aren’t far, and if there is any other general MN advice.
