Be sure to check out the Tucson RC Multi-Rotor MeetUp group. First outing of the year this Saturday is at the Abandoned Mine East of Corona de Tucson.
Ok to have noobs out there? I don't want to be the one causing problems for the rest of the group.
Congrats on the Xmas gift. I am wanting to go out to a more open space to practice getting some nice desert scenery.
Not at all, it is a great group of all levels. Bring whatever you have, or just come and watch us try to look like we know what we are doing!Ok to have noobs out there? I don't want to be the one causing problems for the rest of the group.
Good to know. I won't be able to make it this weekend but will definitely join in on a future event (assuming I can get my Meetup account to work).
Tanque Verde flight report.
The lower Tanque Verde parking lot and nearby road were full of cars so we headed over the ridge to MP 10. I got one flight in before "target" shooters showed up with shotguns, automatic (not semi) weapons and metal targets. Time to leave. The main road was in bad shape and the side trails real bad and I have 4wd. Never again.
Oh, did I mention the dozens of shotgun shell casings scattered around the small area we were flying? Or the closed areas due to lead contamination?
Not as bad as my drone, which from what I understand will cause the Earth to leave it's orbit and collide with Pluto.
Has anybody flown on the BLM land at Empire Ranch? If so have you tried to notify the ultralight airfield manager?

I hear you. I've been in Tucson for more than 30 years and only visited that area once. Further up Reddington Pass is even scarier with all of the gunshots being heard and the place carpeted with shell casings. I went up there for some photography about 15 years ago and swore I'd never go back (at least not without my own firearm
). Putting up a drone in that area is just begging for it to be shot down, so kudos to you for calling it quits.
