Hello guys!

I stayed out of the drone hype for a while (partly due to not getting the expensive price tag on the DJI (who wants to own anything else?) and cause I did not see the need for a drone), but when I heard about the Tello 3 days ago and that you can program it (I am a programmer) I went out and bought mine today!

Any way to make this drone go higher? (It feels like its factory limited, I might be wrong.)

Found an app called TALS, allowed me to set the altitude to 30 Meters.

I have carrier-grade WiFi equipment that I can extend the signal with, I'd like the Tello to be unlocked completely, get it to 100 meters if possible.

If you have the latest update connect to your tello's and look in the MORE setting and you will see Altitude setting that you can change to 99 Feet (I'm in the US I set mine to Feet)

I kept getting "invalid value" when I tried to set it to 99' but it let me set it to 98'. Weird, but I'll take it. Especially since I'm indoors today and can only go up about 16'.
