Looking into sending my drone aloft July 4 to record fireworks.
Class B airspace around CLT (the airport) I checked to see where our house was in that airspace. That's us in the little blue dot to the west of the Class B.

Absolutely. No alcohol for at least 8 hours prior to flying it. (updated)

Stupid question: what is considered "airspace" by the FAA?

Sure. But drones range 0.55lbs to 55 lbs. The 55lb drone would be a danger

Small children are more aerodynamical, but don't hover as well.
