Hello, 

I am looking into increasing the max thrust on starling 2 max. Currently it is set to 60%. Wanted to increase it to 100%. 
I IMAGINE that it is set to 60% to ensure that the motors do not overdraw from the LION batteries, but wanted to ensure that was the case.

From James (the guy who set the parameter)

feel free to increase it. Starling 2 Max has a very high power to weight ratio so I artificially calmed it down by limiting throttle
