Pete_barber3Hi Pete_barber3,
There are no age requirements to become an operator, there is a test and a small fee to become liscensed. Here is a link to The National Association for Amateur Radio (ARRL) that will walk you through the process!
Like Hook, I just want to make it clear that the only regulation the Blade Theory is going to free you from is less people calling your platform a "drone"! As far as "worrying about the regulations that go along with multi-rotor drones", this wing and its pilot still have to follow all of the guidelines and mandates that a miniquad flyer does. At over 250g, you will need to register with the FAA and the fpv system technically requires a HAM radio license to operate.
If you are going to buy one please make sure you are aware of the rules you have to follow, whether you call this a drone or not.
dinedaldon't do it!
get an easy plane to fly (and crash and repair) before you invest in a fancy foam one - with all this FPV gear.
If you still insist, then also buy a simulator, and gain some stick time first!

IIUC, will still require FAA registration in the US due to it's weight, description is a bit misleading.
Are there specific regulations that target multi-copters?
Some will say that 25mw doesn't require one, though it does (but for something that low you are usually going to be ok without one since so many people don't). The wing has a 200mw transmitter though, so it's harder to consciously ignore--trust me I don't think any of this is warranted...
