What we're about
The NJ Drone User Group (part of The Drone Group) is all about getting together to Help and Learn about the technology behind building and flying a UAV* (or sUAS*) drone, as well as how to use it safely and sensibly for fun and commercial use. (please read the basic rules here: http://alturl.com/za649)
We fly most weekends, weather and TFRs permitting (Temporary Flight Restriction, such as when POTUS is in the area) at various locations.
I formed the NJ Drone User Group (NjDug.org) in 2o14 and hold Flying, Building, Training and Social events throughout NJ and adjacent States - I plan putting on Drone Expos and to build a new NJ racing league. If you'd like to sponsor and/or help with either, reach out to me.
Whether you're an expert or have only just begun, come and join the fun with our GREAT members. Bring the Family as we are a Kid friendly group...
* UAV = Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle and sUAS = small Uncrewed Aircraft System (less than 55lbs - under 87knots/100mph)

I've scheduled this as a two hour event that you can join at any time as long as you have RSVPed to 'Attend' before the event starts (let me know if you're joining us late). We also keep going as long as there are interested active members online, which is often the case...
For security***** reasons, RSVP to Attend in the usual way and I'll send you full instructions by eMail the night before on how you access from almost anywhere in the world using the app of your choice (see http://alturl.com/tfdiz) that you can download from http://Zoom.us
- if you haven't got the info message by 2 hours before the meeting, do not post a comment here. Send me a direct message or a TEXT and I'll resend it to you.
