I’ll have to see if I can find a log file from yesterday’s maiden flights.

I’ll also have browse through my DVR files as just before Xmas last I managed 87kph with my Xugong Pro2, and that was on a 3s battery, carrying a GoPro and gimbal, in GPS mode.

I said I would break my Typhoon record.
how does 75.79mph sound
but this didn’t come with out a cost.

just after hitting the top speed I lost all control and thought i’d lost her, I jumped in the car and drove after her trying to get control but no joy. so using the last image I saw on the controller I sent the mavic 2 zoom up for SAR. and managed to locate the rough location and then I saw her sat in a field. I drove a bit further and parked up and went into the field and found her just sat there beeping away, she had managed to do a perfect landing. i’m glad for more reasons than one as I had taken a shot for the challenge before the speed test so that could have been lost.not sure if i’ll enter it or not
I wish I had remembered to hit record during the SAR.

Fucking fast, that’s how it sounds :rofl:

Cracking job Steve!

Which reminds me, I never did try to break my own speed record by taking the camera off the drone… maybe this is the incentive I need :wink:
