Anyone from Illinois having any issues with being able to fly in some of the very large state parks? I do my homework, have never taken flight until I get the go ahead. But so far out of the five state parks around me I get various answers of why I can't fly here. Their websites state nothing about drone use and they are not in any restricted airspace according to airmap. I honestly fell like I am getting the no answer because they don't 'like or understand' UAVs.
I do see any law or regulations from Illinois stating that I am not allowed, so I checked the DNR website, same thing no regulations or laws about drone use. At this point I always try to contact someone and a couple times I have received conflicting answers, one person says yes and the other says no its outlawed in all Illinois state parks.
I really don't want to do anything unlawful but its becoming really hard to find any place at all to fly. To the point where having a drone is becoming a paper weight, I guess that's what some people honestly want.
Does anyone have any tips or insight into what is in effect? I have adhered to all of the FAA guidelines and at this point I am trying to find a cool place to fly and not break any laws.
I apologize in advanced if this thread is somehow a duplicate, I tried searching and went through 9 pages and didn't find my answer.
