[QUOTE="daviwph, post: 100247, member: 18432"] I was shocked when I found so many demonstrations on YouTube of drones being flown [B]as high as 1/2 mile[/B] using software out of Denmark. The combination of a "No Limit Dronez" or "NLD" [B]software hack[/B] in combination with older firmware, (before DJI was aware of the hack) allows for unlimited [B]altitude[/B] and speed. YouTube pilots state that the drone is [B]out of sight[/B] and in many cases, on the verge of losing control due to the winds aloft. As we all know, this is a [B]blatant violation of FAA rules[/B] and could put an abrupt end to the flying privileges we now enjoy. I'm very impressed with the LAANC system and the effort the FAA has put into allowing drones to safely share the airspace. If we all follow the rules, we will gain the respect of FAA and possibly enhanced privileges in the future. One incident and we will all pay a high price. Drone manufactures may end production and apply the technology to photography products. (DJI Osmo or Ronin for example.) The FAA may ban all recreational flying. For now, we will need to police ourselves. If you see a drone pilot breaking the law, please let them know how serious this is. A comment on YouTube videos showing FAA rules being broken might be helpful. Breaking FAA rules is a serious crime! [/QUOTE]
