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

Anyway - far more to the point - why were you flat out 1ft above the water … Mr Callum Ekranoplan?

Was trying out 1080/60 and 120

Thought the fast moving surface of the water would be a nice test.

Didn’t realise I was that low until I checked the log. -11ft and I was standing about 10ft up on road.

I’m surprised it got as low as that, do they not pause a few ft up when you bring them down?

Yeah - 2 ft would have been as good a test! :stuck_out_tongue:

If sensors are on … but I can imagine it can easily be confused at high speed over rippled water … bad IR/Ultrasonic reflections.

Definitely gonna have to take the downhill route with 100mph tail wind to beat that baby!!!

Expensive non-returning M2P option. Expensive! :wink:

:thinking: Need to find a golf range with loads of catch netting!

What can go wrong? :man_shrugging:

Might be easier to drop off a cliff with a trampoline at the bottom :stuck_out_tongue:

Vertical speed doesn’t count … GPS speed is horizontal speed only.

What I’m working on at the moment should do over 100mph. Of course it may do 100mph as a ball of fire but as long as I can get dvr of it breaking that speed then I won’t care at all

Betaflight can be set to show 3d speed if I remember? Power dive?

Sonic boom? :joy:

Was out with the M2P today trying to get a fast run, only managed 45.5mph
But looking back through my records I did find this with the Inspire 2

You’ve beat your own record by 0.07mph.

What size is the battery in your inspire 2?

@mickydd replaces @Njoro for the Inspire 2 record and takes 4th spot on the updated leaderboard. :+1:

This also gets @mickydd the Speed Freak Badge.

Just the standard pair of TB50 batteries, but very low use/charges

Cheers Dave, is there a prize?
A pie :pie: or something
