    Unfortunately, you're not allowed to launch or operate any drone in a National Park in the US regardless of how high you intend to fly.

    One hour flight (Not a Mavic Pro)!!!

    Looks like a fixed wing... Far more efficient than quads. Still, it's quite impressive.

    Indoor crash

    They are fairly durable. Although with that being said it only take one hit in the right spot to cause major issues. Start by inspecting all propellers for damage.
