over the federal laws now if you're

visual sight you must fly below 400 feet

must never fly near another aircraft if
you're flying within 5 miles of an
airport you must notify the control
tower and you must never fly near

manned aircraft I can't fly over people
and lastly you must not fly from a
moving vehicle unless you're in a
