Hi all
So,.... How high have you gone?
The first time I hit 50m I was astonished at how high it seemed. Now, I just can't get enough. I feel like going up to the clouds.
With big brother watching our every move, we'll say this is a "hypothetical" discussion

Early on I wanted to see how high these can go and I failsafed on the way up because I didn't put the antenna on the transmitter. It was set to hold last stick position so it kept going and going and going. I don't know how many meters but it went straight up 1500mah.

xD never did climb away xD
i like to fly underground-parkhouse

Haha.... Last seen orbiting alongside the space station.
Must be quite scary when it just takes off.

Oh yeah that was intense.
I just casually and immediately packed up and drove away but I was so scared after that I might have hurt someone or damaged something when it came down. Kept checking the news waiting for the headline "drone falls from sky and hits baby" or something aweful.
I never admitted to this before today, I feel so disgusted about that whole thing now whenever I think about it. I handled that so incredibly irresponsibly.

What could you have done more? Ignoring hindsight in checking for a failsafe, once it happened, nothing you could have done would have helped. Sure, if you intentionally ignored safety procedures, but I seriously doubt you wanted to lose your drone.

A little over 1100 feet or 335 meter I was trying for some cloud action but wimped out before I got to the clouds. I worry about civil/criminal liability if things go wrong with a light aircraft.
