There are only a few restrictions imposed by the FAA and none locally yet. The big ones to watch out for are 1) within 5 miles of an air port, 2) not directly over people not involved (i.e. town squares), and 3) the made up rules that people will come up with. Go to the FAA's web site for the facts on what's allowed and not allowed for 1 & 2, for 3 all I can say is best of luck.

The lakes, wetlands, and open areas around The Villages offer some incredible views and lots of flight areas, there are lots of YouTube videos already posted by a lot of people already flying.

Last month's handsontech.org drone meeting material is posted on their web site and goes over most of the answers you're looking for.

The big thing is common sense and curtesy.
