minimum flight speed M3M

Hi, I have seen information from Heliguy (UK) that the M3M minimum flight speed is 1m/s. I've been asked to produce an ortho with 2mm GSD and I wish to use my M3M. On Map Pilot Pro, minimum flight speed is shown as 2m/s, giving a maximum overlap of 10% at the minimum height of 8m. Desired overlap is 65/65. Is this 2m/s the minimum allowed by the SDK or can 1m/s be implemented please?

We will look into it. I don't see where they are getting that number. 2 m/s has been the minimum flight speed for waypoint flight for a really long time... We would be surprised if it changed on the new SDK or for any single specific aircraft.

Apparently this information is true-ish. The new SDK actually lets you fly as low as 0 m/s... We will be making it so the supported aircraft will fly as slow as .5 m/s which is just silly slow.

Thanks Zane! Yep, bit of an edge case but for AI agriculture stuff may become more common place.
