    Yes +1 best to be "tail-in".

    Dji Mavic PRO.

    Sometimes I feel like my drone is going slow too, especially after switching right out of sport mode. I'm keeping a close eye on it but I think in the end nothing is really wrong with my drone. Perhaps it's a mental thing where Ive been going really fast and got used to that, then i flip to...

    What if the mini becomes inverted in flight?

    Fair enough. Appreciate the reply tyvm msinger. Tornado huh? I might be tempted.... "Sorry Goose, but its time to buzz the tower";)

    What if the mini becomes inverted in flight?

    Platinum, nice choice. It's not going to bank over a certain "angle" in controlled flight, 3d helis and racing quads do that, another level of skill all together. but it most surely knows if bank angles are exceeded, if it's on it's back, etc. Anyways I fly pretty fast and hard for a mavic mini...

    What if the mini becomes inverted in flight?

    LOL "Because I was inverted!" :cool: If you hand catch fast enough to avoid the ground sensors (so not in "landing" mode) and give it a quick turn upside down, the motors turn off immediately. It for sure know's its orientation, being the year 2020 and all ;)

    What if the mini becomes inverted in flight?

    I tried hand catching and inverting the drone quickly to turn off the motors, it worked as planned. Got me thinking though, and i apologize if already covered, but what happens if the mini hits a huge rogue wind gust, clips a branch, whatever, and becomes inverted in flight? Will the motors...

    Unfortunate new operator, in high wind, no understanding of how to recover...

    See i come from old school rc, where nothing was guaranteed, period. I find these kind of stories funny. Go put 2 years of pre teen savings $ and and 6 months of building into an rc plane. Obsess over evey detail, fine tune and triple check... finally, the big day, now watch it nose dive and...

    My Best drone flying Tip Ever! Whats yours?

    Great tip. Completely agree. I came from 3d heli's, where there are many more "levels" of orientation to learn and are necessary to master in order to fly upside down, sideways, etc. I'm pretty surprised the handful of times I've flown with and given "drone 101" to operators who aren't familiar...
