Hi All, I'm Joseph:
I am ready to buy either an Mavic Air or Mavic Pro..... I think they are both great for my needs. I live on the western edge of Monroe WA..... mostly rural , farmland and acerage north of me. I will enjoy the drone for recreational use.
I need some help with my choice.... My area is fairly windy.... today it's 5-8 mph lots of time 5-12 mph. For those of you who understand aeronautics.... coming back home from an out and back flight -- into 8-10 mph winds... what does better Mavic Air or Mavic Pro (into the wind). Mavic Air had less area and resistance but weighs less..... Mavic Pro had more weight and resistance. I know there are a lot of variables---that is why I am asking you guys. Which drone would burn more battery coming home against the wind from a flight. Is there a basic therorum for weight, and area, and wind resistance.....
Thanks so much guys....... if it is a dumb question-- bear with a newbie.
thanks again.
Joseph
