RE: [TG11] How can I lower the minimum height of 33 feet in the UAV app?
Hello ray18,

33' / 10m is indeed the minimum that our software currently allows. The thinking behind this is that the platform that the UAV is launched from is in motion, so we want it to rapidly rise about the boat's superstructure to avoid risk of a collision. For example, if a user points their flybridge cruiser upwind and goes to idle or neutral to launch from the cockpit, the boat could drift back down on the UAV after launch if it doesn't lift quickly.

I agree that this doesn't necessarily suit every user, but this is one of those occasions when we've needed to make a compromise and chosen the safer option.

Regards,
Tom
