If this is a model, you are above the 400 ft. ceiling that is allowed by the FAA. If this is a research project I assume you have the proper clearances?

The 400 FT ceiling is only law if you are 3 miles or less from an active airport. The AMA sanctions Pattern, IMAC and soaring events that are impossible if one is limited to 400 ft.
