Be especially careful around power lines . . . remember that you can't always see them!

A couple of Notes:
There's no real hurry in the accomplishment of this mission. Some things deserve a little time – especially where safety is a concern. And it's the MAIN concern here.
No registration of this drone is necessary, as it's well under the FAA limit of .55 lb. Drones ABOVE that weight need to be registered.
This is a Kolibri U818A Delta-Recon Quadcopter. It has a flight time of about 8 minutes on each battery charge, and its operating range is about 100 meters. It has a 720p high-definition camera that will take both stills and videos. But note that video transmissions need special attention, as they work only up to about 50 meters from your base.
If the drone gets too far away to read the signal from your remote, it will return and land near its original spot.
We've gathered some of the key safety rules & regulations from the FAA – and the Boy Scouts. Still, for best results, read everything you can about what it takes to safely operate a recreational drone, and you should have lots of fun!
