ok so it was finally a great day with no wind so I decided to try a distance run at school. Called the airport which was not a category a or b, but to cover my but i called anyway talked to the tower gave them my FAA number asked for permission to fly southwest away from the airport no higher then 200 ft for 30 minutes. I got the approval from the tower they informed me to stay clear of the run way and if anything changes to give them a call. COOL I got all set up calibrated the compass, and boom....nothing it would not take off i guess i was to close to the airport maybe.?

so DJI has it set up that no matter what airport you can't fly around there period, regardless of the category i guess, i understand better safe then sorry, but even the tower did not mention anything, they actually appreciated the heads up.
 
There is some on dji sight, you request with info and you get a period of time that the quad CAN fly in a no fly zone.
