What has been the highest altitude anybody has flown their x6? I recently did 75meters, and I was very nervous, but for the x6 it is the same to be 5m than 200m....

100m. And I got a cracking 360 panorama at that height. Just enough battery power to get up, two rotations (about 20 shots per rotation), then descend.
Perfectly still day first thing - so much that the second rotation was free flight (first was with GPS lock).
It was a bit buttock-clenching, mind you, especially trying to descend before the batteries started moaning at me.
Back of the envelope shows that the CAA 400 foot rule translates to about 125m, so that will be the limit, here in the UK.

hey I would love to see that pano?  I have taken shots at 450 feet highest i have flown was 650 feet. here in the usa there are no rules for altitude since we are not allowed to fly this thing at all if you go by the regulations of the FAA  |

I hope you're not serious - at a minimum in the United States you're limited to the RC Guidelines of less than 400'AGL, 3 miles away from an airport, direct line-of-sight, don't fly over crowds, carry insurance and operate the aircraft safely. People operating at high altitudes and in a reckless fashion will ruin this great hobby, sport and profession for everyone. Please stay below 400' AGL, have fun and be safe.

well this is not a profession. you can not fly rc for profit. there are no regulations for professional pc flights since all flights for profit are prohibited in the USA, period! 400 feet regulation by the FAA is in regards to hobbyists only. insurance is not needed since there is NO flying for profit. the FAA has a schedule to talk about rc hobby for profit sometime in mid year 2012. until then RC is for sport only and should be under 400 feet.
