No new rules, that I know of.....but they are coming. I was out flying yesterday and had a great time despite 1 crash...only a broken prop.

I did see that the FAA is pushing to have Remote ID rulings in effect in 2021. We'll just have to wait and see.

Hey there Graham. In Florida during the month of May, we were stay at home status during covid 19, so I flew with no problems or harassment. We are opening up in stages now. We're in stage 2 which the beaches and parks are open but social distancing applied. The park I fly at is open but the fields it self isn't. I found a new place to fly for the time being. Here's a video from my quad https://youtu.be/dIyCnwMfEDA It's a little bit more open area but it will work for the time being :) Keep the volume low to watch ;)

Like DOG said, we are opening in stages. Where I live, we are in stage 3. This allows us to go to parks and the local club field to fly. I flew a few planes yesterday at the club field. There were probably 30 people there. Lots of cool and different models to watch.

We're in stage 3 because everything from Disney, beaches most amusement parks are opening up with changes. I got the chance to go back to my old flying spot at the park again :). This time I was opposite of the field. The sunny side I call it. I did fly 2 planes,3 helis and 2 quads alone with 12 batteries. Here's the 500 on the sunny side :lol: https://youtu.be/IH46emo0vnI Here's one of my quads taking a stroll around the park https://youtu.be/FVzduyyNaLg Next time I visit the park, I'll be on the shady side. My original flying spot :D I'm training back with the bloodhounds so I made a 5'' Cine covering for my 210. This should help in those tight places i have to go in to record. Should protect the blades from hitting anything or anyone.
