There are weight and altitude limits, but there's no limit against small (say, under 55 lbs) aircraft at low altitudes (say, under 400 ft above ground), flown by radio control viewed from the ground, or from downlink FPV video, or even partial or full autonomy if you can achieve it. Might want to browse the AMA for sanctioned fields, but you don't have to fly at a group-sanctioned nor government-sanctioned location.
Partly right -- but there are not yet defined weight limits and such for UAVs. If you are flying a UAV as a hobby, then it is allowed. If you receive any payment, then it is no longer allowed (under a strict interpretation of current regulations). New categories defining weight limitations and such are currently being drafted by the FAA -- should be published in 6-9months.
