James from @TitanDronesInc might ship me the prototype for testing this week. Might become the sweet spot.Someone on here said that Titan was coming out with an amplified one for the Mavic within the next two weeks.

Oh really? Cool!James from @TitanDronesInc might ship me the prototype for testing this week. Might become the sweet spot.
was just wondering the same.Beanbubba did you ever find those cables?
I do but the honor is for the creator when he's ready to publish.Have you got some secret pics of it?
I do understand.was just wondering the same.

Ok, so I'm going back down to OBX this weekend and there are some dredgers about 3mi offshore. Really tossing around the idea of flying out to one.
That shouldn't be a problem stock right? Tips?
What do you guys use to calculate headwind/tailwind?
I would do it at sunrise. Sit on a lifeguard stand and fly straight out.
Right. I saw people doing that or the sport mode trick and watching the meter. P mode with OA off sounds simpler.
How high off the ocean? I know low is usually better. That's why I asked how to calculate the wind so I can find a tail wind...
I'm the one that came up with the sport mode with tachometer modulation approach. I generally use that with external batteries when I'm returning home with a tail wind. P mode is good for going out in heard wind. If you have more than 4mph tail wind coming home, sport mode is a bit more efficient in my experience, with full right stick. P mode will get the job done as well.
So, are you just using the delta from 32mph to figure out the headwind/tailwind? Or is there an app you guys use for this?
I saw one overlay that showed the wind direction on top of the route...
I downloaded an app called Windfinder. The forecast looks like I'll probably have a tailwind on the way out, avg 8 knots, east to northeast...
Ok, so what am I looking for in sport mode?
Watch rpm/power in tachometer. Flying with the wind it should stay low, under 60%. You'll get out quick using very little power going with the wind. That 40mph ground speed is really 30mph air speed in sport mode in this scenario. That's an efficient approach.
Just make sure you know the p-speed in no wind conditions. This way you can see how much headwind you cope with. Also have a good indication on wind on the surface. In stable atmospheric condition the wind will turn clockwards with altitude so a crosswind can become headwind/tailwind once 100'up.Ok, so what am I looking for in sport mode?
