Anyone in Rhode Island?

[MassGuy]

I'll definitely be flying! Don't know when or where but I'll be taking advantage of the warm (for Winter) weather.

Question about where to not fly. I came up with a bunch of links on Google last night. Some mixed info. As I mentioned before, I take off from almost anywhere. I try to be kind of "off in the corner" so I don't attract to much attention and I make sure I'm on public property. I believe we can fly at any of the state parks while being respectful of other people so I was searching to confirm that. I found this on the TF Green site -

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), often referred to as Drones, have surged in popularity over the past few years and are increasingly being used to obtain photos and video. As a reminder, anyone wishing to operate a drone within RI must first obtain permission from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). More information is available at www.FAA.Gov.

I wonder if they mean the drone has to be registered with the FAA? That's a lot different than getting permission. Unless they mean operating a drone during an event.

Not sure what they mean by "permission". You do have to be registered, one way or another. I have the $5 blanket FAA registration, but I also have a Phantom 2 and Phantom3 Pro that are individually registered, with an "N" number. Since you got that from the Green Airport site, they probably mean permission to fly within the 5 mile radius of the airport. If that's the case, they could have just said it that way instead of making it more confusing. Luckily I'm just outside of their 5 mile radius.

Im in south attleboro. Just bought a p4p+. It wont fly, had to send back to dji for software repair. Sucks. Hopefully I'll be back in business in a week or two.

Should have bought it from Cloud City Drones in Warwick. They have an on-site repair shop.

Well hopefully it was from an authorized DJI dealer. I got my P3P from them last year, and they gave me a great deal.

All and any place I go has an office number on it for parks and recreational so that u can call.i ask for permission to take Ariel photos and most say yes and some say to call every time during business hours to get permission. Maybe this weekends will be dry if so I could be at pierce field if preplanned..?

I am new to the drone world and went to fly a colt state park in Ri. Got through my first battery and next thing I know three different DEM surround me. FYI can't fly at any state parks in Ri according to some law that they couldn't show anywhere.
