Same here. I was at the park at about 7am, when it was totally empty, in a suit, with my convention badge, hoping if I went up to the cops and introduced myself they'd see I was absolutely zero threat to anything, but no dice. And they weren't particularly friendly, I have to say. So I'd say...

Also, when I was there in June I met up with a bunch of local pilots met via this message board. You should seek them out, but since you've posted here they'll probably be in touch...

When I was there in early June, I asked a couple of cops in the park if I could do a quick flight, and was told in no uncertain terms that "you can't fly that near the tower" in a tone that immediately made it clear I couldn't try to argue that I would fly in the most distant corner of the park...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's right. From now on, though, I will just say I am covered and not bring up this issue. All it does is scare people away.

I think I'm being excessively cautious and conservative on this. It's been a hard time explaining the question to various people. It seems like SOP is for the drone pilot to get insurance and assume that that's good enough. Hopefully it is. I wonder in practice if it is, I suspect some...

Unfortunately I can't use verifly, because they are not approved yet in NY (the only state not to do so). But that's not my question--I have insurance. I'm just not sure if my having insurance protects the event organizer from additional liability on their part. Basically I'm a contractor to...

To Central New York pilots, I have been contacted by the folks with the P-TECH program at OHM BOCES in New Hartford asking for volunteers for a summer program they are running. The P-TECH program is a STEM-oriented and experiential learning curriculum that guides at-risk high school students...

New promotional material regarding the inaugural New York State Fair Drone Film Festival: Films, Drones, and the Great NYS Fair! It all adds up to a great time. The 1st NYS Fair Drone Film Festival is just weeks away. Will you be part of this inaugural and historic event? We hope so. You could...

Very cool. A question for you and others--we are talking with several events about providing live streaming aerial video for their events using our app and platform. One question I have is regarding insurance and liability--does an event need to have drone-related insurance policies if they...

Hi all, Couple quick notes for area pilots: 1. The New York State Fair is holding its first annual drone film festival this year: NYS Fair Drone Film Festival I met with the director the other day, and they really want to have a good showing the first year. They have a range of categories, and...

FYI, they put out another promo video for the NY State Fair Film Festival:

Of course you did. All your posts on this thread have been to ridicule the guy who simply told about something that happened to him. I've made my position clear above, I don't need to repeat it at length. Black helicopter paranoia is silly, but many people in this thread, including you, have...

My bad. You sounded so definitive about what is and is not possible for the drone that I assumed you must be intimately familiar with the system capabilities. Sorry about that.

So, just curious, which version of the Mobile SDK are you currently working with for your app development? Do you think anything since 3.5 has really been necessary? It sort of seems like they are spinning their wheels, and mucking things up, as they usually do. Are you an iOS or Android...
