Is it just me or has the top speed been reduced with new update. My Air has flown at 46.7mph (75kph) now I'm only getting 63kph wind assisted.????
 
When you update, it resets all settings to default.
If the air is like the MP you have to turn multiple fight modes back on to get sport mode switch to do anything.
 
If it was like the update on MP, I think it now eases to the max speed, rather than going full max tilt and allow tail wind to push faster, before it slows down to the max speed as stated in manual.

I actually noticed this too the other day. I did the update, had to reset some of my settings, recalibrate my IMU, compass, and joysticks...and I used to be able to fly at around 18-20mph (29-32kph) in P-GPS mode but now I'm around 13-14mph (21-22kph). I replaced my props and was able to get up to 15mph (24kph) but that's still a ways away from the 18-20mph I got previously. My multiple flight modes were on too. I'm honestly worried since I'm taking my Air on vacation soon and will be flying in some wind. I don't want to be flying in sport mode the entire time. I could use that missing 3-5mph.
 
Update...I flew tonight and noticed that I would top out at 13-14mph with the throttle stick pointed straight forward but if I pointed it toward 10 o'clock or 2 o'clock, I was able to get up to 19mph. I landed the Air, turned it off, and did another joystick calibration. Flew it a second time and that fixed it! I was able to hit 19mph straight on now. YAY!
