Don't fly your quadcopter in a national park without permission

"For the third time this summer, Yellowstone National Park rangers have cited a tourist for illegally flying a drone in the park. 
Park officials said Friday that Donald Criswell of Molalla, Oregon, flew an unmanned aircraft over Midway Geyser Basin and near bison on Aug. 19.
In early August, rangers charged Theodorus Van Vliet of the Netherlands after his drone allegedly crashed into Grand Prismatic Spring. Andreas Meissner of Germany is accused of flying a drone that crashed into Yellowstone Lake on July 17. He was charged earlier this week."

Not that quadcopters can actually cause much damage, but I can see the need for rules.
