Everything below 500 is Class G (the G is for ground!) except right near airports, where controlled airspace goes down to the ground.

Class G can go much higher than 500 feet in some places.

I know, but someone in Class A, or B, that gets a drone for christmas might want to do some research before flying (some will prevent you from flying at all!). As too with amateur rockets (not the little model hobby kind) but anything that would show up on radar. ATC doesn't like it when things magically appear.
