Hi Blake, A quadrocopter cannot be flown higher than 150 meters due to regulations. Usually a flight in a city happens happens like this. I carefully select a takeoff landing ground. It could be a lawn in a park, a grass area, empty construction site, etc. preferably early in the morning.

Hello Jaak, Please, note that flying an UAV by waypoints (autopilot) is limited by regulations and in hardware by No-Waypoint-Zones: http://www.dji.com/fly-safe/category-gs , it is 8 km around all major airports. However, translational flights above a city are possible with UMX Airplanes
