FAA Drone Guidelines are here, how to fly safely, practice flying exercises, and a 150 Micro FPV quad build.
FAA Drone Guidelines for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (What the FAA calls them instead of "drones")
Here are the regulations in a nutshell:
Any craft over 250g needs to be registered You need to be at least 13 years old to register. You will need serial numbers attached to the drone No Registration at point of sale, but you will need to register before you buy. Registration will happen through a website or app. NO NEED TO USE A 3RD PARTY. The fee should be essentially FREE (The task force recommended free or $0.001) Does it have GPS? Magnetometer? If so, know how to calibrate it, and do it EVERY TIME you fly. Always take your props off anytime you tune your drone Yield to all manned craft No craft over 55 lbs Don't Fly over people, cars, crowds, stadiums, transportation paths Don't Fly over 400 ft Don't Fly within 5 miles of an airport Don't fly beyond line of sight. Figure out Inertia and Momentum It takes time for your props to spin up and down. Get accustomed to how much time that takes, because it will determine how rapidly your craft can adjust its flight Remember that there is lag between input and action Don't fly anything bigger than 6" indoor Hover Ground Effect Walk the Quad Circle of Death Nose in/Nose Out Diatone 150 Micro FPV Frame $10.00 RTF 1306 - 3100KV $40.00 20A LittleBee ESC $52.00 FX799T Micro 5.8G Race Transmitter $27.00 20 AWG Silicone Wire (1m B/1m R) $1.39 600TVL 170 Wide Angle Lens Camera $10.00 JST Female Connection Cable $0.50 Zippy 500mAh 3S 35C $8.98 RTF 3x3 Fiberglass Composite $3.68 Hosts: Fr.
