Could be right! Really depends because the quad motors on freestyle say have massive throttle upside they can tap but it increases power draw and reduces flight time by multiples.

Yea def! You could also get into questions of cruise speed with level altitude vs in a dive etc, and you burn through batteries fast when max-performing quads!

Exactly! Didn't even mention cruise vs dive. But the latest WR for a quad doing 347mph I think, is just insane, even if drawing multi hundred amps for a few seconds only.

Oh wow, that’s even higher than this one I saw from last year @ 298 MPH for a quadcopter, but I’m not sure if this is the same criteria for the WR or build limitations etc?

I saw that one too which was also incredible. This latest record was from a few days ago https://youtu.be/8p5eZ4ZRkfY?si=hSxTh5BeSyEwzpy8
