Hello forum members,

This is Pratap here. A long time photographer and a first time quad builder. I got interested in the hobby recently after learning that there is no way here to buy a drone legally anymore. Been reading up a lot about FPV quads and planning to build one soon. Looking forward to the support of the forum members.

Bangalore peeps, please let me know how I can keep track of meetings so I can get to know fellow quad lovers personally.

Cheers,
Pratap

Hello Pratap Sir,

Warm welcome to the forum:)

It is funny from my observation so far, I would be happy if there are any further replies on your post. Some of the similar posts from history:

You can meet people flying planes and quads in popular flying fields on weekends. I usually go to the Heserghatta lake bed for flying. RCBazaar's field after electronic city is another place that I know but have never been to. Personally, I enjoy flying alone(more like fishing to me:)) and am not aware of groups and/or meetings.

All the best on your build. Let us know if you need any help.

Thanks for fishing out all those posts

Isn't Heserghatta a restricted area now? Do they allow outsiders to do things like flying drones. We used to go there for bird photography but after a lot of bad press about Herghatta and cars spoiling the wetlands we stopped.

I too remember reading somewhere that the Heseghatta lake area is now restricted.

I go there early in the morning mostly on weekdays whenever I get time and no issues so far. Some two months back I even had a curious police officer on duty to experience FPV. If there are any strict restrictions as such, he would have told me, but he didn't. Also, I frequently meet people from the National Aerospace Laboratories experimenting with their ground stations, signal trackers, etc. there and they are cool with me too. On weekends I have seen fellow hobbyists as well.

If someone knows if the restriction is for real, please help with the information.
