Maximum Distance Possible on a Mavic Pro1 Flying Litchi Waypoint Missions

Yes, of course. After all, when the drone flies forward, this is achieved by the fact that the front propellers rotate more slowly, and the angle of attack is larger. The power doesn’t increase that much.

If you change the factory angle range values ​​even more, your results will improve more and more.

I do have the option to increase the drone’s nose-down attitude beyond the stock setting using No Limit Drones, but that would only increase the drone’s airspeed, which I’m now seeing does not necessarily translate into the extended flight battery endurance and round trip mileage increases.

Thus far I haven’t seen the expected increases in round-trip distance covered by the drone per battery charge despite increasing the Litchi waypoint mission speed from 17.9 mph all the way to 30 mph.

Purely by accident, I learned that Mavic Pro1’s obstacle avoidance sensors only work as intended up to a maximum speed of 17.9mph, which is the exact speed that Litchi assigns as its user-adjustable global cruise speed for waypoint missions. Now I understand where that odd figure of 17.9 mph came about.

Quite possibly, Litchi sets the cruise speed of its waypoint missions at 17.9 mph unless otherwise specified by the user, so that those Mavic Pro 1 owners who choose to leave obstacle avoidance switched on during Litchi waypoint flights, won’t experience odd flight behavior caused by obstacle avoidance malfunctions when the drone goes faster than 17.9 mph.

Really random. I think that’s exactly what I told you :slight_smile:

But I still don’t understand why you write about this, cruising speed is set to any value, I have it set to 9 km / h, and moreover, there is a “maximum speed” parameter. With which you can give the drone acceleration at any time.
