Believe me 400' can easily be exceeded by almost anything flying to day. Especially Pattern, Imac, Jets, and Quads, just to see if they will come back by them selves. just as a side note that Return to Home crap isn't all it's cracked up to be ... Although it works exceedingly well most of the time it's not fool proof I personally have seen 2 quads just fly away when the RTH was activated.
Serfice it to say 400' is not that high. If it does become mandatory to stay under some ceiling radio manufactures will be adding it right into recovers and either activating an alarm on the transmitter or simply programming in the radio system that refuses th plane to be flowen over any set altitude limit... Some Quads already have this programming in their software.
