Very good point. IMHO the RTH mode should flip it into Sports Mode and fly in reverse if it's not overcoming the wind, which it will know by the GPS positioning.....
Hi Ian,
Nice video, i test fly a lot in high winds with my drones.Don`t notice any difference between forward and reverse flying with my MM.
AND flying backwards at low height means you cannot see any obstacle incoming....
dangerous if you fly outside LOS!!
Best advice is not to fly in high winds! And if MM is drifting away ('suddenly' more wind) than, against pilots nature, is to land and not to wait to long for this decision ;
waiting long = loosing connection = no working <find-my-drone> option in the FlyApp.
Any technical thoughts why a MM will fly better in reverse into the wind ?
The difference between a sailboat and a drone/helicopter/aircraft is that a sailboat cannot sail straight into the wind, so its has to zigzag to make groundspeed.The others can fly straight into headwind, if they have enough power to do so.
If a MM starts to drift backwards due to wind than don`t think 'pilots', oops no have to say i cannot, fly low, backwards and zigzagging towards HP.
cheers
JJB
