I've had mine up to 7900 feet. But then I live at 7500 feet. Yes, I always stay at 400 feet or below - always have. Just don't see any need to go any higher.
What is the Highest in Altitude have you taken Mr. Spark?

Limit in Canada is 90m or roughly 300 feet... I am waiting on arrival of a Spark, will be rising to the occasion soon 
theres loop holes.. just like the no flying in state parks.. it says you cant take -off or land in state park...( didnt say anything about flying over them... )
I have not gone over the 400' limit. The problem as I see it, the drone community is not well liked by many people. If we keep doing things that could possibly endanger air crafts by flying over that limit, that just gives them another reason to dislike drones even more.
If we aren't careful, more stringent regulations will be set upon us that will take away more of our freedoms.

166,9 ft will not go above 400 ft, I'm on a yellow zone so I have to agree and keep my word, also when I called the tower was told no higher than 400 ft and 1 mile distance. so I am limited to 400 feet no higher just sticking to the rules.
Your right there is really no laws for us BUTT.. 400 feet is a good number we should just stay under it. I to bend the Vlos rule to but I do it miles out where if it falls it hits the dirt and will not harm anything. I really don't see a problem with it if do it like that.. But stay under 400 feet... There are Big corporations trying to take it from us as we speak..
My spark has been rock solid with the RC. I love this little bird..and I use android and OTG and WiFi solid..
Went to 320 feet today. It’s my first time past 150 feet. The view was spectacular!! I’m going to 400 tomorrow morning just to say I did it lol.

Posting fake videos does nothing to advance this conversation.

Sure I get it,
So let's agree that my intention was to reply to ZPFunks comment "FAA suggests those AMA rules to keep A holes from ruining it for everyone when they decide to take their drone up to get portraits of passengers aboard 747 through the window "say cheese". But theyre A-holes"
And I did not perform a thorough fraud check on what I was posting.
Now can we get back to the point of the original comment I was replying to about idiots flying drones in an unsafe manner that may put peoples lives in danger. As I assume you don't believe all these reports are "Fake"?
If so here is a quick one from 2015 (BTW I checked it and its not fake):
New Drone Study Finds 327 'Close Encounters' With Manned Aircraft
Or here is a more recent one from:
Analysis of New Drone Incident Reports
Again Scoped it and not fake.
So now that that is cleared up, what say you? Should people be allowed to fly their drones in this manner ?
