Hawk Sky flight in clouds

Clouds were pretty low and there was a clearing right above me so I decided to fly among the clouds. That mountain with the towers is at 1200ft.
I'm using a JR SX600 TX and Hitec Electron 6 RX and the Grayson Hobby Microjet V3.

Is that FPV? If not, how did you manage to see it at 1200 ft?

@bigtwit I've flown this plane to 2,500 ft AGL all line of sight. Guess i have pretty good peepers. When it's up that high, it truly is just a speck in the sky and i don't dare look away or I'll be sure to lose it.

Great vid man. Your plane here climbs better than a full size cessna 150 trying mountains at 9500ft. Loved the dive too, surprizing the wings stayed on. Where is this area? i see someone else asked also. Reminds me of Pacific Northwest.

Thanks for posting

@bobrstrong1 Yes, she climbs well. I have measured the climb rate at 1300 fpm at sea level. This area IS in the Pacific Northwest! This is just outside the town of Anacortes WA on Campbell Lake. Thanks for the comment

@PHATTSTER It's a great flyer isn't it? There is a link to this camera on my "Hawk Sky Max Altitude Flight" video to the cheapest seller I've been able to find. It's called an HDV007 camcorder. Not sure if its endorsed by James Bond though...

@HatokaRP Thank you very much for the kind words. Much appreciated.

You, sir, are an excellent flyer! :o

@chirojoseph Thanks for the comment, I'm sure you'll enjoy the hawk sky, although i must say the motor used in this video is not the stock motor. I bought a Grayson Hobby Microjet V3 motor for this plane. The stock one works fine but wont give you 1300 fpm climb rate like the Grayson Hobby motor.
