Hello all.  While flying the other day, I began to notice that when I apply full forward stick, my P4 has very slow forward speed. Backward speed is noticably quicker.  I don't recall it ever flying so slow. It was in "P" mode at the time.  In "sport" mode it really takes off! Any ideas?

I can't speak for the P4 but I know in the P2 series, top speed is only 12 mph when in IOC home lock and the speed limitation is undocumented.  

Aloha Nags,

     Maybe calibrating your Remote Controller will help your sticks work better.  Hope this helps!

Aloha and Drone On!

Were you flying late in the day and towards the sun?

Any chance OA was accidentally enabled?  I don't think I've flown backwards or tried Sport mode with it on, so not sure if those are expected to slow down as well.

LIke others have mentioned, were the OA sensors enabled or disabled? Have you tried recalibrating the RC sticks or adjusting the sensitivity of the sticks?

I have noticed this same issue on my P4 at lower altitudes and it seems to collate with the forward sensors. I noticed once I get up in altitude and there is only the green bar showing on my ipad for the forward sensor the speed pick up.
