I set a new record today. At about 200ft high, and a 15mph tailwind, I managed to reach 53mph in Atti mode. Only 20mph on the return trip with the headwind!

How fast have you flown your Phantom?

50.4 mph in atti mode with a 9 mph tailwind.. So without wind it pretty much tops out at around 40 or 41 mph.. Not too impressive but it gets the job done.
 
I saw 42 mph briefly on a downwind leg.

Return trip + headwind = lost phantom


60 with p3 - 63 with p2
 
The flight before shows 25 constant with 35mph gusts.
How fast foward could it travel into a 25 mph headwind. This topic inspired me take the p2 up on my lunchbreak and break some "personal best" speed records in atti. It went about 5 mph into a 30 mph headwind for 500yrds when i let hover it tried like hell to hold position but drifted backwards real slow about 100yrds.
I guess now I know the answer to what's too windy

I was coming back full throttle and only hit about 10-12 mph, but I had switched back into P mode.
 
P3P:

34.7 m/s = 78 MPH or 125 km/h
 
P3- 67mph
P2V+- 78mph

We need someone hack the firmware and increase the Flight Pitch setting.
 
Go app says I've gone 80 mph at most.

But really only like 52. Won't it tip over after so much?
 
I don't want to get off topic here, but I have one question. Coming back, with a strong head wind I have read that if u think u may not make it back u should zigzag your way back. I have not found myself in this position yet, but if this ever happens to me or anyone else does the zigzag method work?
