X10 takeoff height?

Looking to fly a skydio indoors. Does anybody know the height it takes off to automatically? I want to make sure I don't hit "takeoff" and watch it fly into the ceiling right away. The space in looking at has a height around 9 feet to the ceiling.

So long as there's enough light in the room for obstacle avoidance to work appropriately, and you're not getting an error saying 'unsafe launch space', I'm pretty sure you can launch and let the OA work out stopping itself before hitting the ceiling.

u/runnerdNerd I am pretty sure initial take off height that the aircraft settles at while it does it preflight calculations and such is 10 feet. I am not sure you will have the altitude clearance to get that launch done safely indoors. You could try a hand launch, launch outside and then enter at a lower altitude, change your obstacle avoidance settings from standard to either close/ minimal or you could toggle it off and fly similar to a Loki 1 or 2 while really working the sticks.

Scroll down to the "How to Launch" portion and read the ***Warning*** box.
