Distance range test (P vs S mode)

[Cerberus]

Well, for the lack of anything else better to do, I decided to do a simple distance test
both in P mode and in S mode to see which would offer more distance.

Flying in lazy circles from 99% till 35%, the following differences was noted..

in P mode :- Flight data shows that my Mavic travelled 7900 plus meters and lasted 19 minutes (my average flight time all the while)

in S mode :- Well, to be honest, I did not fly the entire time in S-mode seeing that I read some scary scenarios of battery overheating and/or Voltage overcharge warnings and stuff.. I flew it in S mode for roughly maybe a minute or two and fly the rest in P mode.

Distance travelled is 6700 plus meters and lasted only 18 minutes

So what do you guys think?

Mostly myths. I did a temperature test a wile back and proved that the Mavic can be flown in sport mode for an entire flight without anything overheating and no battery discharge errors whatsoever.

The effects of heat on Mavic; Some good news

I believe I'm trying to note out that trying to do a distance test using S mode is probably not a good way in comparison to P mode...not the possible scenario of having issues from flying S mode for too long a period..
