I must get out and tackle that 54.2mph Mavic Pro record. 
Well done @Kirky

152mph for Custom Wing, thats impressive! 
Only need to squeeze another 9mph out of it to take the top spot too!
Thanks Chris @clinkadink for giving me the confidence to have a bash at it,
Taking pictures went out the window after

Impressive as I didn’t think it was that windy. Well done. Was it down the hill?

Hi Ian
It was at the top of beacon hill out Newbury kinda way, just went up 120m high, then pedal to the metal 
Couldn’t resist … 67.91 mph with the new DJI Air 3.
Airdata don’t support the Air 3 officially yet. Although the flights do sync … sort of 
This was with Atti mode enabled. Despite that, the drone still seemed capped at 67.91 mph. I tried 3 flights, each had the same max speed. Need to do some more research.
Oh, a couple of other things to note …
- I had no map or flight path, it was completely blank. So after heading out 2 km into the wind, I turned around and had to guess where home was [fixed after hotspotting to my phone and a RC reboot]
- I lost connection to the drone for 19.6 seconds [due to point 1, I was landing in the wrong field, with a massive forest in between me and the drone]

Wow - cojones !
And I brink myself at 70 meters height!
Well done @clinkadink ! Another record… And you brought her home… Seems this new O4, and controller not the best if it all cut out? known issue, or something wrong your end?
I’d like to reclaim my DJI FPV speed record please. Stock props (unlike @Howard78 , not that’m bitter at all about being beaten by an upgraded quad!) I actually flew both the Master Airscrew, and the originals today… The OGs got the faster speed, and tbh the MAS ones “felt” slower… Not a fan… Anyways…
Thanks
Well done mate. I suppose I’m gonna have to get back out again with mine now 
.
Interesting with the props. I’ve found the mas props give a little more top end.
Each to their own though
Well done Martin That is some speed!
Agreed. The only thing I like about them is the colour, handy for locating the drone after ditching it
Too early to tell yet mate. To be fair, it was 1.1 km away and at 19 metres altitude … with a forest between me and the drone. It was the top pin below. Because I had no map, no recorded flight path, I only had landmarks on the camera to navigate. Hence, I ballsed it up, thought I was landing in my TOAL field, but was actually landing 1.1 km to the north 
The main gripe I have at the mo is that with Atti mode on there, there still seems to be GPS positioning kicking in at 67.91 mph, and effectively slamming on the brakes. I have now swapped Atti mode for Manual mode, as that should not have GPS positioning at all
Not a bad first flight of the Air 3 though

Yeah need height if trees, etc! and tbh get higher and the wind “cleaner” 
Still congrats, sure more in it!
May have had an “Avata” run today, for the “bank”
That was the run with the MAS props in similar conditions… so… dunno!

Should have set the speed record at say 5mph first up
But now I can safely say, WOW.
Pissing down with rain, 38 mph wind, low cloud, send it 
… no issues
Still capped at 67 mph though, very weird

One that might never be broken then haha!
I do know the DJI FPV won’t report over 99mph in the OSD…only when you get it on air data you see it. Maybe airdata/DJI not properly support the air 3 yet?
