[size=14.583333015441895px]      Quick question... Under MC settings in the Pilot app, there is a slider button called "Maximum Distance". Do I want this off or on if I want to go the longest distance?

That is up to you. Do you want to limit your distance?

no I wish to go as far as possible.

Then leave it off... Turning it on, gives you a tiny window to place that relative distance.

I set my maximum height though. To the max... 400m

Red, i think in Canada it is only 90 meters altitude. Read that someplace. I will look for the link.
Found a couple.

The last one is a printable rule sheet from Transport Canada regarding recreational use.

Hi bro,
Thanks bud. I will read those links, with the morning coffee and toast.
I am happy that we have access to these reg's. Helps define the realities of our hobby.
By the way, it states in that second link:

On November 5th, 2014 Transport Canada set out new rules for UAV’s (Unmanned aerial vehicles, mostly commonly referred to as drones) flying commercially in Canada.  


Said commercial, we are hobbyists... So does it pertain to us?

The limit is 400 feet is it not?
I imagine many people put 400m in the max box, but that would be over 1200 feet.
I thought it was even less in Canada but maybe not.

In Canada, we're 'enjoying' the Metric System...

Some people still have no clue how to calculate things or figure the conversions. ;-)

I put my limiter to the Max, incase I ever need to leap tall buildings, with a single bound.

RigWorker left three hyperlinks a couple posts above yours. The Canadian RC drone rules and regs are all there.

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's super-drone!

My wife is currently seeing a podiatrist - she's had big problems with her left foot/leg.
Had several surgeries and other probs. The podiatrist she's seeing is named Christopher Reeves!
A super-close spelling to one of the "recent" Supermen.

That's a great name for a super Dr. ;-)
