Do you like to fly your RV over clouds? I do. There is the short video of my flight.

My personal IFR minimums in a single engine airplane are 1000' ceiling; departure, destination and enroute. So yes, I will fly above the clouds if there is at least a 1000' ceiling below.
Very nice video. I've always wondered what the clouds look like in Russia. They appear to be just like the ones here in the US!
Flying over clouds, no problem. Flying that close to the tops, problem!
Perhaps the rules and regs are different in Russia but here in the U S of A, I would be concerned about even posting such a video on the internet, let alone actually flying along those cloud tops that closely. Perhaps the regs would never bite me, perhaps posting a video would never bite me, but just be in the wrong place at the wrong time when another plane busts through that layer and finds me there, well, ouch! I know, I know, a lot of links in the chain would have to break first. Still. . . not interested in tempting fate.
