I am very pleased with the Pixhawk, however I am wondering about the very low speed in loiter, guided or follow me mode. I am not able to exceed 5-6 meters/sec.Any ideas how I can increase velocity?Pixhawk with AC3.2 and Droidplanner 2.

But what about the follow me mode ? How to increase the speed in follow me mode ? Or does increasing the loiter speed will result in increased follow me speed ??

How to obtain higher speed in follow me and loiter mode?

The maximum horizontal speed of the copter during loiter mode can be adjusted with the Loiter Speed (aka WPNAV_LOIT_SPEED) parameter on the Config/Tuning >> APM:Copter Pids screen. The value is expressed in cm/s so 500 = 5m/s. The maximum acceleration during Loiter mode is always 1/2 of the Loiter speed.
