Actually not true. I have flown RC for over 30 years, and sUAV's about 5 years. This speed indication is over ground, but the drone is still only moving 45 mph max in an envelope of air. In civil aviation, we can get very fast ground speeds, (one way of the round trip) but the envelope of air we are operating in is moving as well. So there is no extra wear and tear on the aircraft as long as attention is given when taking off, ascending, descending and landing. For sUAV flights, I personally check two things. Wind on the ground must be less than 16 mph and winds at 250' must be less than 26 mph. The main reason I have these self imposed limits is the RtH does not operate in sport mode and all three of my DJI drones fly about 28 MPH in program mode. One must also be aware of not over revving the motors with strong winds. I never use the RTH, but a time or two it has been helpful when local WiFi interference disconnected the
Phantom 4 Pro. I have not had issues like this with the
Mavic 2 Pro thus far. I realize opinions may differ, but letting her rip every now and then is kind of fun, especially over a field or open water.
Fly safely, fly often.
