macheung said:Regulations aside, the max above take off height is likely limited by battery power, especially with the slow 2m/s descend. Assuming you can go up at 5m/s and down at 2m/s, the highest you can go and not crash would likely be around 1250m up (4 min up, 10 min down). That's pretty aggressive since full throttle up for 4 min up will likely burn battery at 2x hover rate, so that flight pattern take as much battery as a normal 18 min flight. I suppose one can go higher to maybe 2500m if they let it drop on manual mode to descend nearly without battery and spend like 8 min straight up at full throttle.
I hate the 2m/s descent limit. VRS can be avoided if you give some horizontal input, and know what you are doing (which btw, I am not claiming to be an expert/experienced flier), so I wish there were a way to toggle it off.
Anyway, what do you mean by "let it drop on manual mode to descend nearly without battery?" What exactly would that allow you to do? How is that toggled? Even though I have never messed with manual mode, I thought it was something switched to in the Assistant Software and I admit I am not at all familiar with it.
