Breaking the speed limit [CAMERA DRONES] - How fast is your drone? Find out on our leaderboard!

Hi. Can I submit an entry for a speed record please?
I’d like to throw @Steviegeek off the table with my custom fpv wing.
He achieved 113.90mph. However, as you can see from this stomach churning clip, I managed to beat it.

only joking, he’s beat me a few times now :+1:

Nice one man! Which one is the mobula? Is that the little sporty looking one?

Not the easiest to fly, very unforgiving, but Karl seems to have tamed his :+1:

Flys a lot smoother upside down for some reason

Winglets downwards maybe :thinking:
Have you tried it yet with the vertical stabilisers off ?

I’ll take them off for the next flight once I figure out which servo keeps bombing out

Change them both, be on the safe side
I’ve got some decent EMAX ones in stock

Just noticed that I flew at 38.10mph on my Mini 3 Pro today.

Thought it was capped at 37.18 mph? Didn’t get any wind warnings, but did get a battery overload error?

BTW the drone got lost chasing a sailing vessel with non white sails!! :joy: :joy:

Well done Ian, i have flown mine a few times at 38mph or fractionally over.

How ever i am sorry but i cant let you keep that as yesterday i hit 38.21mph.

Well done.

At least I had it for a while. :joy:

I didn’t think of checking but i knew I’d done 38.10 ish previously but wasn’t sure when or the exact speed so checked my logs. So yes i had hit 38.10 in july but was surprised to see 38.21 from yesterday as didn’t even think i had gunned it that much.

:point_up_2: Dave @OzoneVibe i know things have been hectic so i just thought that I’d draw your attention.

Can the Mini SE do 29.95 mph. Yes it can in surprisingly calm conditions.
I was doing a few shots of the Fairfield before the Fair hits it next week and hit go home after a low battery warning. (21:32)
the result : 13.39 m/s or 29.95 mph
