Drones are a big seller this holiday season – more than a million of them will likely be sold, something like double the number last year. But there are some things that new pilots need to know – even if they think what they’re buying is a toy. We talk with Chad Budreau of the Academy of Model Aeronautics about the rules of the sky.

Music used in this show:
I’ll Fly Away, by Gillian Welch & Alison Kraus
High Flying Bird, by Jefferson Airplane
Treetop Flyer, by Stephen Stills
