Not at all. I don't use sport mode so it doesn't matter to me but the subject came up in a Facebook group I'm a member of and it got me curious so I started digging into it. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else so that's why I'm asking here. It would make sense considering it seems several of ths issues people report seem to be related to using sport mode.Update remorse?
I've peaked at 12.7m/s on the latest firmware (0500) and app version (1.0.8), and gone above 10m/s multiple times while in S mode in the 2 flights I've managed to do since update. Certainly not noticed it going slower that pre-update.
I'm not sure it works like that. I'm thinking that if the rear props are not providing as much lift as they should, the front props would also be dialed down to match the rear ones. Otherwise, the drone would just topple backwards.@ThorDar An interesting test would be for you to try flying backwards in S mode and see what speeds you get. If your rear props are a bit deformed it might just go a bit faster than 9.9m/s?!

ah, ok, so when running forward the rear props at max motor speed were not providing enough lift to keep the drone tilted. Makes sense.No - this is an issue with the rear props, and so the rear motors end up needing to run much faster than the front motors to produce similar lift. It will work fine going backwards, since that involves dropping the rear motor speed and raising the front motor speed. You can see that in action here:
Mavic Mini uncommanded descent tests
After a little experimentation I was able to replicate the uncommanded descent problem under 0400 firmware by loading the rear props for a few hours as might happen in the flymore case. The props did appear slightly flattened compared to the front props. The problem quickly manifested itself in...mavicpilots.com
@sar104 Just out of interest, have you noticed in your many flight log analyses if the trailing pair of motors typically do more work than the leading pair when the drone is moving (whether flying fwds, backwards, sideways)? I can understand that the trailing motors need to do more work initially to get the drone tilted in the direction of travel and accelerated, but after establishing the desired angle of tilt do they continue to take a higher share of the work or does it even out?
