Federal Aviation Administration.
Now they will send you to jail for flying your Radio control plane in your back yard if you do not have a license.

I always wanted to fly RC helicopters. My son gave me a RC boat a few Christmas' ago. Ran it two years until a motor corroded out. It steered with two motors. Never could figure out that short.
Anyway, since I have an island pond now..............I want another RC boat. Maybe a battleship and a PT boat.

Ya I don't think I'll be paying any fines ... I copied this from that link.

"Don'ts"
Don't fly near manned aircraft
Don't fly beyond line of sight of the operator
Don't fly an aircraft weighing more than 55 lbs unless it's certified by an aeromodeling community-based organization
Don't fly contrary to your aeromodeling community-based safety guidelines
Don't fly model aircraft for payment or commercial purposes

I was just looking at the beginning post back in 2011 when we were in a drought.
Big change, we got too much water.
