Many of the quads with auto stabilize are limited as to how much pitch they have in any direction which limits their speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching it struggle and it seemed the wind was preventing it from pitching much at all. I just watched a few vids a d the damn things are supposed to do almost 40mph. It was only $100 so I'll get another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a few of the cheap ones and then I bought racing quad with a real radio, night and day. I think my Little Holybro will do something like 80mph.

Was fast and fun to fly and had amazing range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
