Hi all. Wondering if there’s a setting to increase maximum descent speed? I currently max out at +/- 7 mph. I’d like to speed it up a bit if possible/safe.
 
I don't think there is currently any option, but shoot Autel an email, can't hurt. I know where you are coming from though, at the very least, have the option to descend more quickly.

From an aerodynamics perspective, dropping faster (especially while not moving in some concurrent lateral direction) increases your likelihood of getting caught up in you’re own prop-wash. This can cause potential instability and loss of control.

I have a much smaller and cheaper Protocol that will descend like a rock. If I’m not moving in some other direction while descending quickly, that thing goes tumbleweed.
