All the DJI drones are GPS speed limited … unless hacked.

Well - if the wind is strong enough they can’t fight against it after the top air speed of the drone.
So - 100 mph winds are your … 
… friends?

How do you go about hacking them? Is it straight forwards or ridiculously difficult?
I’m after the MM speed, so far I got to 29.88MPH in 40mph gusts so I know what conditions I am aiming for, I also have my special field ;o)

I’ve always thought a golf driving range could be convenient … they often have huge catch netting … and are often well exposed to the wind.
Just need a wind that’s equal to the max speed in still air + the speed you want to beat.
I’ll come and video it when you’re ready.

So the GPS limits the speed??? Bang goes my idea, then.

But - as above - only to a max wind speed - then it drifts … faster … and faster … and bye-bye/crash.

Why wait for the wind to do the job? Just tee up your Mavic with the motors running.
A graphite shaft 2 wood is your friend …

Haha does vertical velocity count? Could fly really high and perforn an emergency motor stop
Sod’s Law applies here … EVERYTHING would fly, except for the GPS that will still be at your feet.

@SirGunner, I think we need to get one of those handheld speed cameras the police use. I’m sure they’ll lend us it for scientific experimentation.
