I am flying a Q500+ s10. My Typhoon is at Firmware 1.1 and it flies even though I'm in a "no fly zone" and my house is three blocks from a small airstrip. My question is if I update to the 1.7 firmware, will my ability to fly around my house be nixed? Or, if I upgrade firmware is there a way to hack it and allow flight in "no fly zones?"
QUESTION: Does firmware update 1.7 prevent flight?

Thanks, NRRTRAINS. I'm thinking the same thing but the other firmware does boast some improvements...but I don't want to improve myself into the ground! These NFZ's cover WAAAAY too much area in population zones! Thanks for any help...
you are welcome , i also won't update unless i have too . i still rune the original software in my Q 4K .

Do the upgrade.
The no fly zones do not include small airports. My experience is it only includes airports that are in a class B airspace, which is generally bigger airports.
I am currently in an RV park in Class D airspace 3.5 miles from Elsworth Air Force Base. My Yuneec starts and fly's fine here. Of course I do call the airport manager and inform them of my flights before I fly.
I have flown near several small airports with out issue from the NFZ.
