I understand that R/C models should not officially be flown above 400 feet above ground but models are easily capable of flying much higher; the model flyer has no means of gauging height

Exactly - how on earth could an R/C flyer gauge the height of the EC from the ground, and then fly with it...? In the dark...?

As an R/C flyer, I can imagine have a bash at a single flypast, guessing the height, but to circle and follow a helicopter doing 80knots in the dark... Err no!

I would have thought it would be almost impossible in daylight, never mind at 10pm
