https://www.faa.gov/uas/ - information on drone regulations. stay under 400' unless operating under waiver. On Thursday, October 4, 2018 at 1:19:43 PM UTC-5, Charlie M.

Sorta seems like, if there is a local airport of any kind, legally ALL drones (10 year old with a present, having fun) could get the drone shot down in that area. Curious what the FAA says, since they sorta have "sovereign rights of US airspace". They, as a US federal branch, sorta gets ****ed at state and local government trying to take control, let alone citizens. Unfortunately RC Sailplanes are now considered drones and this will end RC Soaring in the United States if the AMA can not get waivers for community based self regulation. Mike
