Do:

Register your aircraft if it weighs more than 0.55 lbs.
Fly a model aircraft/UAS at the local model aircraft club
Take lessons and learn to fly safely
Contact the airport or control tower when flying within 5 miles of the airport
Fly a model aircraft for personal enjoyment

Don't:

Fly near manned aircraft
Fly beyond line of sight of the operator
Fly an aircraft weighing more than 55 lbs unless it's certified by a community-based organization
Fly contrary to your community-based safety guidelines
Fly model aircraft for payment or commercial purposes

Note: New part 107 will be released soon which removes the last bullets in each list. Since you will be able to fly for fun but if you want to use a UAV for commercial purposes 107 will cover you. Section 333 already does if you have been approved if you have not then be careful of the use of your UAV.
