I was also in Carizzo last week and found out how restrictive the 400ft limit is. The hills are covered with wildflowers but I could only fly part way up because of the limit.

When possible, you can hike or drive to a high point and fly down. The limit is above takeoff point, not above ground level.I was also in Carizzo last week and found out how restrictive the 400ft limit is. The hills are covered with wildflowers but I could only fly part way up because of the limit.

Of course! As I said before I UNDERSTAND it is from take-off point. But this is a big restriction when you are trying to photograph in hills like at Carizzo.When possible, you can hike or drive to a high point and fly down. The limit is above takeoff point, not above ground level.
I usually acquire maps of where I'm planning to fly so that I can find public land and avoid private land when necessary. The DeLorme series of state maps is a good place to start because they are oriented toward recreation and so they show land ownership and public roads, though not always in great detail. Google maps and aeronautical charts don't show this.Of course! As I said before I UNDERSTAND it is from take-off point.
