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

Well done mate. I suppose I’m gonna have to get back out again with mine now :sunglasses:.

Interesting with the props. I’ve found the mas props give a little more top end.

Each to their own though

Well done Martin :clap: That is some speed!

Agreed. The only thing I like about them is the colour, handy for locating the drone after ditching it :wink:

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 :laughing:

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 :wink:

Not a bad first flight of the Air 3 though :smiley:

Yeah need height if trees, etc! and tbh get higher and the wind “cleaner” :slight_smile:

Still congrats, sure more in it!

May have had an “Avata” run today, for the “bank” :wink:

That was the run with the MAS props in similar conditions… so… dunno!

Should have set the speed record at say 5mph first up :rofl: :rofl:

But now I can safely say, WOW.

Pissing down with rain, 38 mph wind, low cloud, send it :point_right: … no issues :clap:

Still capped at 67 mph though, very weird :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

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?

What is the range like?

It’s not the data that’s wrong with the Air 3, I can physically see it braking at 67 mph. I don’t understand why, as with atti mode on, GPS positioning should be off. Yet, that is exactly what it feels like. Very odd.

I went out to 20,000 ft, absolute shit weather … 5 bars. Amazing.

Ahh okies. Then they setting a true limit aren’t they… Interesting…

That’s what it feels like. Hoping that Sincoder or Drone Hacks will overcome it.

User error that :point_up_2:t2::smile:

Until then clink, we have a few updates for the board. Sort your friends in the committee out :grin::grin:

I’ve also tried disabling GPS altogether, which has worked on previous DJI drones, but not on this one.

Setting fswitch to 0 (aka manual mode) does not work.

DJI may well be cottoning on us :thinking:

Maybe it is just the new controller / hack?

Say’s the man who failed to show at a meetup that he asked for.

Good shout.

Lovers tiff :joy:
