Factory Tour Complete, Drone Pics!

[andrewket]

always take a peek at air traffic before flying, too, just to be safe, and there was nothing anywhere near my low altitude flight at the time. I've got hundreds of hours in on the Phantom 2, and hundreds more in on self-piloted ultralight craft... so, I know what I'm doing.

What app or data source do you use to see other possible low altitude aircraft? Ive never seen a data source that shows low altitude VFR traffic, especially one that doesn't have a ton of latency.

They must be waiting for solar city to reply to their mail.

LOL! Elon should just tweet Rive publically and they'd be up NeXT week

Great Pics!!!!! I love this I think a lot of people don't quite appreciate the size of the factory.

The lack of parking is surprising. Where did everyone park when the factory was at full tilt in the Pre-Tesla days?

FAA unveils drone rules; Obama orders policy for agencies

The new FAA proposal doesn't apply to hobbyists. The agency already issued a policy for recreational use, with rules calling for flying less than 400 feet high and within sight of the operator, while keeping clear of other aircraft and notifying air-traffic control when flying within 5 miles of an airport.

WK057 is right on with the program.

Like WK I am a licensed Fixed Wing, Commercial Balloon, and Powered Parachute Pilot. I do not want to break any rule with my Quadcopter.

Thing is that tesla has more functions at the factory than GM. They make a lot more parts than GM did (insourcing... Motors, battery packs etc) and there's engineering and service center at factory
