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

@milkmanchris Is that with sport+?

Do you think wind will help? or would it not still be GPS speed limited, just higher?

I think your probably right with GPS limit been hit, I’m gonna geek a bit and see if I can eek a little more jiuce out of it

I still think the best solution is a long holiday in the Caribbean and wait for a hurricane.
There’s no way it will be GPS limited in 150mph wind!
And I improve my suntan at the same time. A consolation for losing the MP. :wink:

I’m fading! LOL!

I also love the Caribbean!
I’m also fascinated by extreme weather … and since the hurricane missed me last time I was there, I thought I’d give them the chance of another hit. LOL

The lucky bugger was given the Inspire 2 by one of his fans :open_mouth:

So - it could be a real dash to get the first, and the fastest, speed for an M2P with all these new purchases! :+1:

No mods available yet, either, so it could be a real close thing.

I still can’t believe nobody has claimed a MP2 slot yet!!

No Tello entries there either? Not sure if they record/display their forward speed though? :thinking:

I believe only 1 has flown so far, and I think that was a quick up/pics/down flight yesterday afternoon.

Took the Inspire for a spin this morning to get a feel for it out a bit further, went out about 300Mt tuned into the wind agave her full forward stick.
First attempt.

Hardly any wind today

I must get out and have a few more attempts, too. But today is certainly a “no wind assistance” day.
