Just sharing an interesting thread in one of the outside quad forums:
(Here is the link)
Q500 Typhoon Altitude issue
One typhoon owner was insistent on getting the FW to patch the current firmware so he could go higher than 400'. Not realizing the consequences this action subjects the rest of us droners, should he get caught by FAA or worst, injure some bystander. Needless to say, he got blasted by the long time droners and the forum staff for this comment.
Have to admit, I thought about the FW bypass at one point but, enlightening inputs from long time droners helped me understand that we are all subject to FAA rules. Besides, I am happy just to soar @ 300'.
Funny thing about that fella, the name he signed up with that forum is "Hugo Stiglitz" a nasty character from the movie" Inglorios Basterds" (Suits his attitude, or shall I say altitude)
