I am fairly new to drones, and working on my 107 currently. I am still learning, but have been flying model aircraft for 25+ years now (some background), and the flying part is fairly simple.
My question is this. I have a unique opportunity to do some commercial (paid) flying at a local airport to film an aerobatic plane and do some fun shots. I will be at the Airport in a hanger.. totally enclosed at the time of the flight... So, do I need to wait for my 107? As I understand it I will NOT be under FAA rules or airspace, but I will be "commercial" or furthering a business with a "registered drone". I am in the process of contacting DJI now to see how I can remove any geofencing that I may come across. Any input? Any idea how long or IF DJI will take to respond?
