Circumventing height limitations on the Potensic app.

[ThirdHorizon]

So I'm new to Potensic. Usually, (well always) I flew Hubsons.
I'm just wondering if there is a way similar to a DJI drone where we can bypass the height limitations. I live in Indianapolis. Indiana is reeeally flat so I can fly line of sight over bean fields for miles, but I'd like to get higher when I'm out in the middle of nowhere( the limitation on the app is currently capped at 395 ft., which is fine when I'm flying in the city. I was just wondering if anybody knows of any way to bypass the height cap. Usually everything I look for gives results for DJI, DJI, and DJI! Well, I definitely don't give a sh*t about DJI. I have a Potensic Atom SE w/ Pixsync. A brand new little baby. It hasn't been out for very long, so I'm trying to find information that's apparently beyond the norm. It is difficult. I know absolutely nothing about this company, but I do like the drone, soooo anything you know, I'll soak it up! (this probably isn't relevant, but this drone uses the two ghz range, not 5. Also, its not Wi-Fi. It's a cable connector from the TX to the phone..
Thanks for reading this, I'm hoping for some valuable input.

Unfortunately it's against FAA regulations for any recreational pilot to exceed 400 feet above ground level. If you have a Part 107 license, you can apply for an exemption from the FAA but you would also need a more professional quality drone that can be programmed to exceed typical geofencing limits (like a DJI Inspire). All Potensics, like most hobby-level UAVs, cannot be flown above 400 feet from its takeoff point.

Probably for the best, since it can get pretty windy at high altitude and you wouldn't want your Flightelf to be spirited away. It's a capable little flyer, but wind-resistance is sacrificed for it's sub-250 gram spec.

I am also interested in increasing the height limit (obviously only where and when it is legal to do so).
I have a potensic dreamer pro. It seems the height and distance limit for my drone is saved on the drone itself. It is not in the "shared preferences" of the android app. (There is some reference to the 2000m distance limit, but changing it does nothing). Pairing the same drone to a different remote control and phone picks up the previously saved values (height and distance) from the same drone.

On the main pcb I can see what looks like unsoldered usb and serial headers, which might open up these values or some sort of debug mode. But my hopes are not high for this
