@mlash can you comment on the airdata windmap for this flight and estimate what you think reality was versus what was reported?I was so close! I knew I had a head wind coming home so I caved and shorted my turnaround!Everything went well, the two plants were running so I had some radio interference.
I am submitting this STOCK CLASS flight for consideration to be placed on the leader board.
Yes, this time the wind was out of the South at about 6-7mph, but still seemed to be reporting less than accurate at certain points in the flight. When I returned home I'm thinking it was +6mph.
Good Find! Probably why the wind is not reporting right, huh. The bottom pic is off the Mavic Air report so they do have different
Yes, it's definitely a great spot to fly. But when the plants are in operation, there are hundreds of trucks and heavy equipment with radios in operation plus the 4 or 5 home station radios comunicating with the trucks and equipment in operation (on the weekends with everything shut down the signal is beautiful). But I can't complain, to get this far with a stock controller is awesome!
Yo mlash, looks like you have a pretty good and repeatable course there. I would be interested seeing you try again in sport mode and full throttle. That's always been a debate and curious how the M2 behaves.
I might have a break in the wind tomorrow. If so I will send her out on the same course, using the same battery and full speed in Sports Mode.
Took it out for a sports mode run today but I had some complications in the beginning and blew it! I had a 12+mph head wind on the way out (that is not what caused the complications) but once I hit the mountains I think the winds changed. I honestly didn't think I would have 30% left when I got back! I will try this again and be more prepared the next time.
