Does Dronelink calculate and display the time it takes to fly a spiral? Also, how does one increase the velocity?
I have flown a few spirals, and it works great!
A couple quick questions:
1. While flying spirals, I tried increasing the speed of the drone by changing the "max speed," but it seems the drone still created the spirals at the same speed. What is the best way to increase the speed of the drone while it is executing the spiral?
2. Also, while creating spirals in the mission planner, does Dronelink automatically calculate and display the time it will take to complete a given spiral based on the spiral's size/length and the drone's velocity?
Ideally, I would like to view the time a planned spiral takes, and then adjust the velocity of the drone and the spiral size/parameters to stay within a certain time limit. Thank you!

The Max speed is only what it can do if possible. Performing any Spiral, Orbit, or even tight turns on a path will decrease the speed to keep it on course and move smoothly. A tighter Orbit or Spiral will run slower. You can select the little clock Icon in the plan and it will give an estimate.
A lot of help articles to look through.

In addition to what Mike says, are you climbing while flying these spirals, if so you've also got to think about the max vertical velocity that the drone can fly at
