How far away can you fly your drone?

Way further than I should!!  The FAA requires drones to be kept within “visual line of site” of the person flying. You’re maybe thinking, “Wait I’ve seen tons of YouTube videos where people seem to be flying miles and miles away.”  I’ve seen them, too. I guess the FAA doesn’t watch YouTube!  Actually, I do hear the FAA is cracking down on some of this. I try to be careful and law abiding.
