Altitude hack test - big battery trouble!

[Donnie Frank]

Hey doods!

I was out testing the altitude hack on my Mavic, and realized that I might be in trouble trying to get home! DOH!

upset father: I told you hundred times, do not cancel the Smart RTH!!
FAA: Sir, please land your aircraft now! You are violating airspace! - Me: what AIRspace? ...

Impressive. That high and only 2 ft lateral!

And even at this altitude he locks on 8 GPS sats ... ;-)

Well they were probably pretty close.

That is 42 miles high. No way

Oh, ye of little faith. You must have missed the part where he was testing an altitude hack. But I do bet he runs out of battery before it completes a RTH.

No way you mad it 42 miles high. The temp would be something like -80 degrees Fahrenheit at that distance.

@kevinh i think you are missing the part: it's a joke ...

REALLY?? SERIOUSLY???? DOH...I've been on google ALL day looking for a battery hack.......

Waiting for all the holy rollers to chime in about how your a setting a bad example for the sport by ignoring the 400' altitude rule. How dare you!

Me to FAA: Pardon me, sir. There is no "air space" in a vacuum. Move along.

Yes way.

Yeah...those Mavic Pro's are really built.

Joke? Surely you jest!

Has Elon musk started flying drones for space x now lol

Once you reach zero gravity, battery charge level is no longer an issue I bet!

Ok my bad I got you. I thought you were actually serius.
