Ok guys, thanks to some people I might just hold on to this thread. But if things get out of hand again I will simply stop posting. As you can see from my track record on RCU, I rarely post on these forums anyway bc Ive seen the shananogans that can go on on the internet... Fact of the matter is I am very interested in haearing multiple opinions so I can see everything from multiple perspectives! I have always believed two minds are better than one!

So JUST so everyone can sleep well at night: safety and being in compliance with the FAA IS VERY important to me... I just believe myself my colleagues will take on this responsibilty ourselves. In fact, my proffessor/team will be meeting shortly to discuss such safety issues so that we can be prepared and know what we can\cant do.

This leads me to another point/question. Just out of curiousity- how high can the soaring/glider guys fly without needing any sorts of permission? Because 99% of the testing will be conducted under 5K feet since it is believed 99% of airborn microbes live in this range. I read several articles online but havent got any clear-cut answers.
