Go to Occoquan Regional Park, just outside the red zone. You have to self-authorize, and you may be subject to temporary flight restrictions when VIP are flying nearby, but it's a great place to fly. I'd leave it in Beginner mode until you have some experience under your belt.
Ex Machina: I just received word from the Northern Virginia Radio Control Club that Fairfax County restricts all flights to the radio controlled airfields. which you have to be a member of their club in order to fly. They only have 2 fields right now, one called poplar ford and the other in Lorton near Occoquan which they are still working on. However, you have to be an AMA member, $75 annual fee, NVRC member $70 annual fee, $50 one time joining fee, and they are thinking of doing an additional Lorton Fee once the field opens. Me personally, I can't think of why I would PAY $200 a year to go fly my Mavic in this area only a couple of times a month and maybe only a handful of times a year? this seems ridiculous to me. I can send you their contact information if you want to talk to someone yourself. just PM me. |
