Well by all means share some photos. If you want to link us to a thread with them that would be great

So, tonight, weather was dry, cloudy but nice.
I went to a local village, near a lake and took off from a deserted public country footpath.
I filmed over the lake at two churches, one if which I had permission to do as I wish..
No people, until 15 mins later, then a couple came walking nearby, I could see they were pretending to look across the lake etc.. but I was being 'eyed up' so to speak. I was packing up and walked past and said hello, but, these flying cameras certainly attract attention even in the middle of nowhere.
I don't suppose there is a question in the above paragraph but, as a 55 year old codger, I would like to know the full 'ins and outs'.
I fancy going to my local towns and film historical buildings and ruins from old, but, as it is in a park, public, but not particularly busy, I suppose that needs permission from a local council to take off, which I doubt would be granted..
I ain't been stopped in the countryside in my locality area yet, but I am sure everyone knows it me with the phantom.
Had it for about 3 weeks now, and loving it to bits!
I've got some great still photos of the area and the thatched roof church though...

In the US, I think our quads (with updated software) will not take off in the ATA. If you have older software, you could contact the tower and ask for permission. Be prepared to provide the max altitude you intend, your exact location, time of operations and speed of the aircraft. They might also want a phone contact, just in case
One of the most childish posts I've seen in a while.golgotha said:I think you forgot one:
- Put your entire setup in your closet and never use it again because everything that was fun about the hobby has now been regulated into ridiculousness.
Look, I know how to be safe and I don't need you to define it for me. I also regularly go 10 miles over the speed limit when driving.
I'm a mature adult and know how to properly assess risk, OK?
