I'm talking on a fine edge myself about all this as I base it on what you guys are stating, but I guess I should attempt to clarify my point about thrust vs power.
What I was attempting to figure out was the problems with the performance limit due to a thrust limited situation where dji restricts what the quad can put out in ATTI versus in Sport as an example OR is it more of a situation where as you were explaining that at max there simply was no more power to make the fine adjustments necessary to maintain a stable flight pattern.
I realize this sounds like semantics but I am trying to draw that fine line here. I guess the thing that confuses this is the programed differences/restrictions that dji puts in their birds between P, ATTI, and Sport Modes.
No i see what you're saying. The situation with the thrust vectors and their relationship to maintaining altitude vs forward flight that you mentioned earlier still holds. The only thing that changes is the approaching limits of the aircraft and its power system and the effect on controllability. In other words, at the limits, it's much easier for a somber and even explosive combination of those thrust vectors to arise due to the much poorer control situation, I'll put it that way .
That said, I think DJI does the right thing by holding back a little on the max power available in atti mode on the P4P to allow the control to not get so out of hand.
Manual mode is strictly "you want all the fans maxed utterly and completely out? Well ok you got it, but use purely at your own risk!". I appreciate DJI giving us that freedom in its manual modes on the controllers where we have it, but it does also carry with it a lot of responsibility by the pilot with that throttle stick... |
