Has anyone tested the Solo for it's most efficient flight speed during a mission? (travels the most distance on a battery)
I would say wind should not be considered, but it seems that I get better performance in wind at about 7-8 m/s. Over 10 m/s drains the battery pretty fast and 5 m/s or less seems to have a hard time staying on course. I am assuming that the Solo is using more battery at slow speeds to stay on line.
Does anyone have any ideas on how this can be tested? I have been setting up survey missions based on time, but the goal is how much ground I cover and not how fast.
