What do I need to fly this legally?
Licences, registration and permissions come from three different places — the FAA, your state, and whoever owns the ground. Answer a few short questions and the tree below grows the path that applies to you, with every requirement and where it comes from.
Guidance only, not legal advice — the rules change and the state and local layers vary a great deal. Confirm anything that matters on faa.gov before you fly.
