That is really cool. Do you need to get a permit to fly that high?

Hopefully Noir has done his research.

I don't know much about the specific FAA regulations, but my understanding is that most of these small drones like this must be flown according to model aircraft regs, which is below 400ft, 3 miles away from an airport, and away from high population areas.

This is definitely well above 400 ft, so, I'd love some education from Noir on this to know what the regulations say.

Flying model aircraft solely for hobby or recreational reasons does not require FAA approval. However, hobbyists are advised to operate their aircraft in accordance with the agency's model aircraft guidelines (see Advisory Circular 91-57). In the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-95, Sec 336), Congress exempted model aircraft from new rules or regulations provided the aircraft are operated "in accordance with a community-based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization."

The FAA and the Academy of Model Aeronautics recently signed a first-ever agreement that formalizes a working relationship and establishes a partnership for advancing safe model UAS operations. This agreement also lays the ground work for enacting the model aircraft provisions of Public Law 112-95, Sec 336. Modelers operating under the provisions of P.L. 112-95, Sec 336 must comply with the safety guidelines of a nationwide community-based organization.
