Hold on a minute guys.

There is an altitude restriction for RC hobby aircraft. You MUST check with the FAA to fly at altitudes you are talking about. The web site noted in the OP's post stated:

Important note: The use of the swinglet CAM must conform to the applicable laws of the country where it is operated. It is the sole responsibility of the client be informed of applicable restrictions. For example, some countries may have rules that restrict the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to: line‐of‐sight operation only, specific airspace & maximum altitude, and/or prior approval by the authorities in charge (e.g. FAA).
This is not the place to be discussing flying such model aircraft at those altitudes. You cannot fly at that altitude without the appropriate FAA authorization. AMA rules pretty much state this.

For basic electric RC aircraft information and help, the best place to look is in the Electric Aircraft forum. If you wish, I can move this over to that forum.

CGRetired is absolutely correct. RCU has an entire forum dedicated to UAV's. I have ever moved this thread to that forun
