Hello all. I'm Mike and I live in suburban Chicago. I'm in my forties. I am a private pilot and have been since the age of 17. I am a Police Officer at a small department about one mile from O'Hare.
I had zero interest in drones until my nine year old son got a small little deal to fly around the house for christmas. He was able to control and fly it so well, I found it fascinating.
I did some research and couldn't stomach spending $1K plus so I got a small Syma to start. I've flown that around for a few months.
I found this forum and did a lot of reading and research. I now own a Phantom Pro 3.
Thanks to everyone that visits here and contributes. I have found it to be a very valuable resource.
I mention my job and location because I have been assigned to complaints of drones flying where I work. All of my interactions with drone operators have been positive for me and the pilots.
Take care,
Mike
