Went to a seminar by a FAA lawyer. A lawsuit is now in the courts by a man who flew his drone to take a free photo for some artist and violated 5 rules adding up to $55,000.
From what the lawyer mentioned, be very careful what photos or videos you post on the web that may become self-incriminating evidence where you violated some rule, local or federal.
Interesting story is here: Minnesota Man Faces $55K in Fines After Flying Drone Sounds like he tried to dot all the i's along the way in communicating with the FAA, but it went askew someplace.
Also, the FAA is coming up with a new map set for sUAV pilots whereas the B4UFly was aimed at hobbyists. Supposedly to go (more) live on April 27th.
New map will be here: Home | Federal Aviation Administration - Unmanned Aircraft System
