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.

RC soaring aircraft are subject to the same restrictions imposed upon other RC aircraft. Technically you are restricted to 400' above the pilot.
You are contemplating operating a UAS which has far more restrictions...
