Chris you mad bast#%d :scream: but wow! 72mph! :scream::heart_eyes:
I would ask what the Mini looks like screaming past you at that speed but realise that would be a daft question given your experience :joy:

It happened so fast. Obviously I had VLOS the whole time though :wink:

The weird thing is, she looks brand new still!

Don’t doubt it :joy:

Great achievement :+1: :trophy:

And here’s the really mad thing …

There are only 2 DJI drones left on the leaderboard that is faster than the DJI Mini 2 :flushed:

Mmhhh, i live in a wee narrow valley where the wind gets funneled up it from the west. Think I’m going to have to reluctantly take her out the next time it’s blawin a hooly, got plenty of room either side. Food for thought :thinking:

That’s the spirit. It’ll be fine. Honest. What’s the worse that can happen? :wink:

Thats why I paid for the care refresh :rofl::rofl::rofl:
The worst that will happen is either fly it into the side of my house by overshooting or it lands in a big massive oak tree to be consumed by its branches

slap me round the face with a gauntlet why don’t you.

Committee disbelieving it - probably. Video or it may never have happened. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Has anyone tried to spoof the system by strapping a drone to a car roof and setting off down a ‘private road’ at high speed ?

Private roads show up on satellite view … and other apps that can be used.

Why do you think we often ask for the log or AirData links? :wink:

Screenshot from the flight summary shortly after being brought down by video interference. Obviously, I’m far too much of a gentleman to be pointing fingers at any of the fine members who attended the meet at Willington today, and I’ve also been the cause of such incidents in the past, much to my embarrassment.

Aaanyhoo…

With thanks to my tutor @clinkadink I’ve been out for a little play. Not far and not long and could of achieved more but my heart was struggling. :joy:

New Air2S Record.

Well done Steve. That’s more than an 8mph increase from your current record :clap:

I am sure @OzoneVibe doesn’t mind another update :joy:

He’ll only go and increase it again another 10 times over the next week … so I may wait until he’s given up effing about. :wink:

That Atti mode is not good for your health :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I’ll agree with that mate :joy:
