Just remember to stay under 400 ft, unless the ceiling is lower & if it is you should find another place.

This is correct. I fly RC planes. The ceiling is 400ft. You also must have your stuff badged with no less than a FAA number. Most responsible RC enthusiasts also hold a current AMA card and that number should also be displayed. The FAA recently change the rules. You used to be able to 'hide' those numbers in an inconspicuous place as not to deter from the craft's appearance. Not anymore. The FAA doesn't want to have to open or touch anything to check the number. It's a 10-25k fine if you're caught without. A word to the wise...
