I have been pondering how to achieve the maximum nil wind distance for a few days now. In the manual p55, the specs say:
- Max flight Time 27 Minutes (0 wind at consitent 15.5mph (25kph)) <-- This equates to 11.25km. I have done a 26min flight but only covered 3.6km!
- Max Flight Distance 8mi (13km, 0 wind)
As the manual does not mention it, my question is, What speed to fly at to gain max 0 wind range and therefore the extra 1.75km & 15% range?
Obviously it has to be faster, but how much faster ios the Q. Intuitively I could just fly 15% faster than 15.5kph @ 18kph for the same time. This would use the battery faster though and it would not actually achieve the extra distance. This is not the answer. I think it is more along the lines of A LOT faster for A LOT less timer. Reason being is that I noticed RTH seems to occur at ~ 50 kph! If I was setting up RTH logic I would program it to operate at the most efficient ground range.
Looking at my DJIGO logbook I can see my longest flight so far is a mere 6.9km which is barely half of the maximum achievable on spec sheet at av speed 18kph.
Anyway I am going to fly a few tests to see how speed vs distance compare. Sensors Off, lights off etc.
Has anyone else worked out the best speed for max distance?
