Couple of thoughts. Seems there should be a P4P pilot around RPI but no clue how you'd find them. Another route would be to get onto the FAA site of those holding commercial registrations for the P4P in the Rochester area...you may have to do the search manually, don't recall if you can do it by zip code or city..that that might be fruitful.
Good luck.

Thank you very much will look into that have been on FAA sit never thought of doing the search like that good call
Welcome to the forum. I actually grew up in Webster. I still have some family in Irondequoit but haven't lived there myself in a long time. You will have lots of great places to fly nearby.
I'm a couple hours east of you, near Utica, NY
But I do a lot of work in Rochester and Buffalo area.

Hi, Like the name says, I'm in Cooperstown. If you ever get there, come visit. Easy to find, my wife owns the only florist in town. Good luck and welcome. P4.
Hey.. I'm just down the road in Fairport. Moved here from Syracuse a year ago. P4 owner. Just a hobbyist myself, no interest in 107.
I flew yesterday at Canal Days.

Lots of CNY pilots on here--anyone interested in a meetup? I am located near Syracuse. There is a DIY drone meetup that meets in Syracuse occasionally, but not a Phantom related one. Would those who chimed in above be interested if I set something up? When I was recently in San Antonio for travel there was a great group who met regularly, and I think it'd be awesome to start something like that around here, to have fun, compare notes, etc.
Hi all, Couple quick notes for area pilots:
1. The New York State Fair is holding its first annual drone film festival this year:
NYS Fair Drone Film Festival
I met with the director the other day, and they really want to have a good showing the first year. They have a range of categories, and a "NY State Fair Medal Winner" might be a feather in the cap of local pilots, whether professional videographers or not...
2. As for a meetup, those who might be interested, can anyone chime in on what sorts of days/times would work? Weekend mornings? Evenings? Etc.?
Thanks!

To Central New York pilots, I have been contacted by the folks with the P-TECH program at OHM BOCES in New Hartford asking for volunteers for a summer program they are running. The P-TECH program is a STEM-oriented and experiential learning curriculum that guides at-risk high school students towards high-tech careers.
As part of their summer programming, they are doing a “design challenge” in which the students will assembly and fly drones through an obstacle course. The faculty are looking for some people that would be interested in giving informal feedback to the students while they work on this challenge, or to act as a judge during student presentations. These activities would run from August 7-11, however the time commitment from professionals would be as much or as little as possible or desired. If anyone would be interested in participating, I can provide you more information and get you in contact with one of the faculty members there to discuss what your involvement would actually entail.
Thanks!
