I live in Oklahoma so obviously have to adhere to the faa guidelines of max altitude of 400ft. I usually fly with my galaxy note phone but recently purchased a galaxy tab S6 in part to use while I fly. Bought a nice mount for it and new longer data cable today. I was excited to get my MA2 in the air with it. First thing I did was set the max altitude to 400 and do the tutorial. I'm sure there's a way to skip it, but it's short so whatever. Time to fly with my new much larger screen. As I passed 121ft I got a warning saying I may be in violation of law..... I thought, "that's odd" but carried on. A bit later I thought, "this is taking a long time to hit 400ft." finally I hit my max altitude. I looked in the bottom left of the screen to drop a few feet and then I saw my mistake. I'm sure 99% of you saw the problem when I got that warning at 121ft. I was still in metric! So 121m was my 400ft cap and now I'm hovering at 1312ft. I only live a few miles from Tulsa Airport (outside the reduced max altitude zones so still in a 400ft zone) so I poo'd a little and couldn't drop altitude fast enough. Lol. Glad there wasn't a plane in the area or something. Dropped down to just above the trees before I stopped long enough to change it to imperial.
Moral of the story: don't be so excited you do something dumb. And if it feels wrong it probably is. ?
