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

Hoping with this entry to claim the top of the leaderboard spot :slight_smile:

Top speed of 262km/h (loads more to come as this was only an 80% throttle test run :slight_smile: )
Loads of red but all is well :smiley:

Full flight:

Next flights will have to wait a bit - had an accident at the start of the following pack so drone will be out of action for a little while (hopefully not too long :slight_smile: )

The top brass are looking at this and will report back in due course if your attempt at the speed record is successful or not :grinning:

Wow - that is fast!
What does it sound like ?

I’d imagine it sounds like @Yith ’s jet :star_struck:

Funnily enough there was today a very similar sound coming from the quad (high pitch turbine-like noise) - did not sound like a bad resonance of anything - very clean and progressive/controlled,
I did not notice it before with the lower pitch props so could come from there.

Indeed - been crazy busy at work recently and trying to shake off some man flu atm - still hoping to get some full throttle runs later this week. Shout out to to Chris Rosser btw - I put a message on his discord a few weeks back letting him know the new high pitch HQ props did not fit the profiled prop holders - received today another set to get those to fit in :heart_eyes: - should easily go 200mph+ now - soon… :slight_smile: :rocket:

Ha ha, what have I done now

No Air3s speed on the board yet. Il get the ball rolling with 48.16mph. I doubt it will be there for long though.

DJI says 60mph but even holding it wide open and waiting its not interested. Might be another job for a tailwind :grin:

Not 9+ for Avata 2

Ah - indeed - and 14+ to get the Avata 2 above the Avata. :wink:

No bonus for that other than the bragging rights. :+1:
