<div class="moz-cite-prefix">It is very common for smaller UAS
opertors, like those who operate the DJI Phantom quads, to
illegally modify their antennas in order to fly at greater
distances and alitudes than the stock equipment would allow. A
company named "Flytrex" gives them that ability to log their
flights and post on line for "awards".<br>
<br>
4,000 feet is entirely possible and almost commonplace for many of
these idiots.<br>
