Today's question comes to us from Ali in Dubai. He actually has several that we're going to tackle in one fell swoop. So here we go... if I need to land my Inspire 1 very fast, what is the best way to do that without killing the motors since I'd have to hold down the yaw stick?

It's kind of becoming international ADU week here, as today's question comes to us today from our friend Ali in Dubai. He's asking us how do I disable the 500 meter max height that DJI has instituted with the most recent firmware update? We do want to point out that it's legal to flyer higher than that in Dubai, so please don't attempt that here in the States regardless. Ali also asks if the X-5 will fit the new DJI Osmo? Great questions as always, Ali. We'll help you out all we can, so keep them coming. Fly safe! Get your questions answered: http://askdroneu.com/. Tell us what you think of the our show.
