For your peoject plane, contact Bruce Tharpe Enterprises in Oregon and order a Super Flyin' King. Plan on spending some time building it. Before you start construction, contact the Department of Homeland Security, the FAA, the FCC, and the U.S. Department of State for all the rules and regulations you'll have to abide by. There will likely be some state and local agencies that you'll need to make contact with but the feds will be nice if you ask and tell you who they are. Then apply for a Certificate of Authorization from the FAA to operate the type of aircraft in the manner you desire in the desired airspace. Before you do that, study for the FAA Private Pilot's Examination and pass it. Then obtain a minimum of an FAA Class III medical certificate. You might have all that together by the time you finish building the plane. Of course you'll have to provide all those departments with all the technical specs of the equipment you intend to employ, and fully describe your intended activities.

I seriously doubt you'll get approval to do any more than build and fly a model plane in the usual manner. In the meantime, contact some of the variuos companies that manufacture and operate legitimate UAV's. They'll be happy to sell you the service. Regardless of where you intend to fly, or how you intend to fly, you DO NOT have the freedom to do just any old thing you want. If you want to play with UAV technology you still have to follow the rules.
