There were some dark stormy looking rain clouds within reach today, so I reached them! Firt time through a cloud! The airplane doesn't have any problem climbing, my main issue was with the video feed cutting out and going staticky on me :( Need to hook up my higher gain antenna and point it straight up next time!
My plane has Auto-stabilization, Return To Launch, and Failsafe settings along with complete OSD info display, so I wasn't too worried about losing my bearings if I poked through a cloud. It still is kinda spooky, though. I mean, IFR with an RC Plane? Yikes!
If things ever get bad, I would just flip it to Auto-Circle mode and cut the throttle and it would have no choice but to circle back down to me. I can hear full-sized planes anytime they get within a mile, so that wasn't an issue... Just trying to be as cautious as possible.
