You go go around that, go to the settings and you can adjust your altitude limit there. Mine is at 500, I did it once just to see if it worked and probably won't do it again. but you can try it
Of course everything msinger said is correct. If you go really high don't forget that Spark descends slowly (10 feet per second - over 30 seconds per 100 meters). If you hear or see a manned aircraft approaching you may not be able to come down as quickly as you would like.
At night (night flying is legal for hobbyists in the US) with strobe LEDs I can easily see Spark 500m or more away (much farther than you can actually see it during the day). That means I could easily see it 500 meters up at night if I went to that altitude. Yes legal, but it just doesn't seem like a good idea. It would take me 2.5 - 3 minutes to come down. If a low-flying manned AC quickly approached at some altitude that would be hard to judge, I would be in a panic. |
