    Not sure if this got posted but did you delete DJI Go or disable it on your tablet before you flew with Litchi? Litchi specifically states that you should do this before using their software.

    Uncertified Rogue Commercial Drone Operators

    Like I said, all it's going to take is some idiot without a license (and no knowledge of what restricted airspace is) to bring down a passenger carrying aircraft and things will change in a hurry. Think license fees of $5,000 and you can't fly a drone without one - period, plus a $10,000 fine...

    Phantom 3 standard- max altitude

    Not sure just downloaded it yesterday. Going to delete it and see if it's a problem with my tablet. Doesn't seem like it but I suppose it's possible. What makes me suspicious is 120 meters is 393.7 ft which is darn close to the FAA's max altitude for drones in the US.
