Questions:
I do know that Don Whaley is the guru for the drone club here in the villages and I have flown with them at the baseball fields.

I was told yesterday that there may be some updates to local policies specific to drones?

A LAANC approval does show us here as open airspace

So, non-commercial recreational flying is still legal?

Pls no snarky comments...just questioning from a FAA 107 licensed pilot...
Google finds an ordinance specific to Lake County but nothing for Sumter County.

There were several pages on drone laws in Florida that all seem to provide the same information.
