I've read some heated arguments on some FB groups regarding how folk fly. Like you said, it's up to the individual and if the conditions allow it then why not take a little risk here and there. I tried to fly my drone to the top of Stromboli volcano but my max height restriction kicked in so I only got 2/3 of the way up. Shame as Stromboli is an active volcano and I'd have happily boiled my drone for a shot of some bubbling lava!

Oh if only we did live in a free country, imagine that 😃 for now we will have to be ruled in accordance with the dumbest minority, or is it the possibility of someone being dumb? Seems common law is a forgotten code.
I never knew my Mavic had this height restriction built in but I've heard that it can be hacked out. Not sure how my insurance would feel about me doing that though. It's a shame really as my signal was still full so I'm sure I could have made it to the top of the volcano.
