The faa asserts their control of all agl airspace.

The faa also says that hobbiests should follow the AMA guidelines if you're a hobbiest. If you're a business flier then you need a waiver to do it regardless of line of sight or not.

These quad copters (what people call drones but aren't really) are really encouraging poor flying behavior and as a lifelong RC flier I get really pissed about them.
