@GunjaFPV you already have the “speed freak” title, how many epaulets do you need… don’t want to look like a 3rd world dictator with honorary awards…

I was looking at the AR wing baby too (need to start somewhere… I can see this turning into needing an intervention this hobby!)

GunjaFPV · 21 July 2023 13:15

And… I will take a few more, and won’t stop till #1

I’m way past that!

Steviegeek · 21 July 2023 13:15

Bugger… that’s going to be hard to beat

notveryprettyboy · 21 July 2023 13:25

Didn’t it end up in a bush? At full speed?

notveryprettyboy · 21 July 2023 13:26

You’ll beat it. You have the parts

Can I claim a speed badge for the mavic 3 classic please

74.42 mph

clinkadink · 23 July 2023 18:29

Congrats on your new Speed Freak badge @Kirky … as well as moving straight into 12th place on the leaderboard

OzoneVibe · 23 July 2023 18:32

Complete with a more tidy leaderboard - thanks to @clinkadink

OzoneVibe · 23 July 2023 18:34

I must get out and tackle that 54.2mph Mavic Pro record.

SirGunner · 23 July 2023 18:40

Well done @Kirky

SirGunner · 23 July 2023 18:42

152mph for Custom Wing, thats impressive! Only need to squeeze another 9mph out of it to take the top spot too!

Kirky · 23 July 2023 19:34

Thanks Chris @clinkadink for giving me the confidence to have a bash at it,
Taking pictures went out the window after

SirGunner · 23 July 2023 19:45

So when are you buying your FPV Racing Quad Richard?

Kirky · 23 July 2023 19:48

It is tempting maybe a space to watch

DroneGeek · 24 July 2023 06:46

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

Kirky · 24 July 2023 06:53

Hi Ian
It was at the top of beacon hill out Newbury kinda way, just went up 120m high, then pedal to the metal

clinkadink · 29 July 2023 15:21

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!

GunjaFPV · 29 July 2023 17:01

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?

GunjaFPV · 29 July 2023 17:03

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
