Somehow, I get the feeling that, for the faa, "Best Practices" would be the models stay in the hanger in perpetuity...

Dealing with the FAA on the 400 foot limit would appear to be a game of whack-a-mole. 
AC 91-57A Change 1 does not appear to define "best practices" although staying below 400 feet would appear to be one of them. In fact, best practices for models does not appear to be defined for model aircraft anywhere on the FAA site. 


I did however find the guidance for law enforcement to do with model aircraft. If you keep a copy of this in your flight box and insist the law enforcement person read it before proceeding, I doubt you will ever see them at the field again. The only good part is that 400 feet is not mentioned. 
There is the odd rule that you must register any model purchased after 12/21/15 even though you do not have to register yourself until next month. So I gather you will have to register early if you got a Christmas present and want to fly it soon. If you already flew it you should probably turn yourself in immediately and miss the playoffs this weekend.
