FAA rules

I am just now getting into the drone hobby. Soon to have a P3A.
I want to be in compliance of laws and regs.
Where do I find them?

Frankly, I find the waiver system here in the USA laughable. Forget for a moment that the faa website hasn't been updated to reflect the most recent waivers granted....whether there even have been waivers granted since 1/23/17...then there is the whole (at least) 90 days wait for reply. In the real world of UAS, 90 days is frankly untenable for a business model. And we're talking mainly about "daylight operation" waivers...how hard is it to look at the airspace...then read how the uas will have a strobe...done. approved. next.

I read somewhere in an internal faa memo that it takes on "average" an faa employee 90 minutes to review each individual waiver request and determine its standing. Ain't Nobody got time for that.

Rant over. Carry on.
