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

Went out this afternoon with my iFlight Titan DC2 4S and I think I might have a new entry for the leaderboard…

36.34m/s, or 81.29mph :slight_smile:

Conditions were a light wind ( UAV Forecast reckoned about 13mph ) blowing from the East, so the speed runs were done from E to W. Not sure if just oldish batteries, or because it’s the first time they’ve been fully charged this year, but had pretty bad voltage sag ( down to 13V ) and they didn’t last very long at all - but they are just 0.450mah :smiley:

GPS speed data logged by Betaflight Blackbox, converted to .csv and .gpx using blackbox_decode.

If anyone wishes to verify the data, the original Blackbox logfile is available at http://martins-models.co.uk/martin/BTFL_BLACKBOX_LOG_Titan_DC2_20220301_161317.BBL . The fastest run was on flight #2.

Interestingly, with a logging frequency of 500kHz the total of approx 8 minutes of flight today took up 6MB of Blackbox memory - handy as the FC in the DC2 only has 8MB available :slight_smile:
