RE: Flying to the clouds
No offence, but I've had my Radian up to 3126 ft, AGL and nothing about it was "slant". I stay vertical above head, when I wish to acheive such heights. Here's one video where I was flying in low heavy cloud cover and almost lost my Radian, not because it was obscured by the clouds, but because I was flying slant about 300ft out and became disoriented, as to which direction the aircraft was pointing in.
