[QUOTE="nilanjan118, post: 102195, member: 13902"] The answer I think lies in the way DJI has programmed the RTH feature. Since RTH is an emergency feature, I am sure DJI must have selected a speed which ensures that the drone returns home with the most efficient use of the battery. In other words, RTH is designed in a way that the drone has to cover max. distance in least time without going too hard on the battery to drain it fast. Now if you have ever used RTH at a distance greater than 100m from home point, you would have noticed that obstacle avoidance is turned off and the drone travels at [B][U]~36kmph (22mph). That to me is the most "battery friendly" speed as you asked[/U][/B]. So all we have to do is switch to sports mode but not go full throttle on the sticks. I have tried it myself and with little practice, it isn't difficult to maintain a speed of 30~35kmph in sports mode. Hope I was able to make sense. [/QUOTE]
