Your first step would be to contact your local FSDO and get the Official Word directly from them. Those of us on the web (me included) have nothing to lose by giving you incorrect advice so why risk it?

There are many sources for credible information but the only source you want to trust must be the FAA... they are the only ones that matter if there is an incident or if you are facing enforcement. Everything else is just words on the internet and nothing official.
Anything you get "official" make sure it's IN WRITING from the FAA... just saying, "I talked to this guy from the FAA on the phone and he said...." is not worth it's weight in air.
