Nah man, I was never "wrong," you were just giving incomplete answers. Key, yet subtle detail is that a 107 flyer, while he/she does not need to notify a tower, if flying in controlled airspace, requires an FAA waiver. (my underline for emphasis) That was the literal main point of the question...

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification. I understand that there are a lot of areas where federal regulation could use some catching up and dusting off - I just want to make sure I'm abiding by all regulations when flying.

I sure did. Does that not seem silly to you? It's so odd that I thought I must be reading it wrong. Why would someone who we've given a certification to have to get a waiver, when any "hobbyist" out there flying can fly into controlled airspace with no authorization?

I'm trying to track down the answers, by using this forum, YouTube, and various internet searching, and not really coming up with a clear answer. I've registered my drone on FAA's website, but I find it slightly silly that if I'm flying for hobby or recreational only, I need only notify an...
