Default RE: Flying to the clouds


ORIGINAL: Wrice4

<div id=''post_message_23249960''>I have been watching numerous videos of fpv planes flying to the clouds and above them, the view is amazing. I want a plane that can fly very high like that. They dont have to fly that high, but I want one that I can strap my camera on and fly higher than normal planes. I have seen a lot of people either use Radians or Bixlers, am I correct? Also, I have heard that the Bixler is the way to go because it is so cheap, but dont you have to build them? They are not BNF or RTF are they? I have a Spektrum Dx5e so I dont need a RTF.

Anyways, can someone give me an opinion on which aircraft I should purchase in order to fly to the clouds? Or build a part list for me and I can order it? I hope I am making sense and I don't sound stupid.</div>
Remember that most of our TX/RX combos are limited to around 2000' slant height/range.

The plane must remain in the line of sight of the pilot too.... all of this assuming you are not within 10 miles of any airport or restricted airspace.

The FAA might have something to say otherwise.
