Narrative:
I flew my radio controlled (rc) helicopter (quad-rotor) at lal to shoot some video of the new porch we built as volunteers. The highest altitude was 15 feet AGL. The highest speed was about 5 mph. The rc aircraft was never in a flight path or near another aircraft; taxiway; or runway and it was never more than 15 feet from my person. This was just for fun; not for profit. To the best of my knowledge at the time this was legal as per advisory circular. FAA AC 91-57.
