Skydio 4+

Slow to get airborne - no tap-fly function-skill

If you want to stop your bike and fly - you face very long wait times on the side of the road waiting waiting. Wish it would show actually number of GPS sats & Number for beacon acquired sats like 12+17 sats rather than the childish 3 ripple bars. On hot restarts/drone battery changes, it and the beacon should reacquire GPS lock in 2-5 secs but seems to take as long as a cold start like 2 minutes or more. And has the drone 5000km away on the map rather than the phones location or last known GPS position. Does not ever seem to augment it’s position calculations with the phone’s known GPS position to speed up sat sky searches and I wonder if they have SBAS firmware set to SBAS auto? When finally able to fly the app lacks tap fly mode. Cable is ok but most times too slow to setup. I would choose to tap on a feature to fly toward whilst locked on me as the subject, set ground speed and press go. Wish the settings on the phone allowed me to set cinematic steering rates for the Beacon which is instant blat 100% - it needs a second or two of easing/ramping before getting to 100% rates. Wish the app had a battery store function where it could idle the motors to set the lithium battery back to 70% for proper storage, or just draw down the battery to 70% and shutdown.
