Just speaking of capability (because I don’t wish to encourage anyone to do
something illegal), the higher-end commercial quadcopters have ceilings that
can be set up to 10,000m. I can’t find anything specifically stating what the
ceiling is. Seems like this specification is avoided.
But, what I suggested was not RC. Which is kind of funny, because that would
probably make it a safer flight. Keep in mind that the 400’ maximum for RC is
to provide the 100’ buffer to the lower limit of 500’ for manned aircraft, and
ROC’s waiver for unmanned rockets goes higher than 400’. So, what’s better,
going over 400’ and being in control or not being in control? Yeah, always
better to be out of control. LOL
Anyway, the whole VTOL electric aircraft topic is really interesting and I’ve
been doing some research on the subject. But, it’s developing quickly with new
entries all the time. I would like to go OT if others were interested because
I have more questions every time I read about some new venture into this
market. I have identified 3 major obstacles to the use of this technology btw.

Think of the clean energy!

Yeah, I want one. I would put it in my drones and then feed it banana rinds

According to that documentary I saw once, the "Mr. Fusion" reactor has
been available since at least October 21, 2015...

I'd let you fly it if you had a timer and a fail-safe,but the biggest issue
here is that
you'd need to show stability - and you can't yet (until small fusion

cheap and widely available) :-)
