I recently sold my Inspire 1 on eBay but the new buyer is having difficulty connecting. The buyer is asking for a return but I would much rather work with them to get them up and running. They sent me the following message, does anybody have any suggestions as to what may be wrong? I have...

I'm up for this kind of thing but I'm away until mid July

I would prefer a ready to fly case as most of my travelling it would not be checked but transported in a car but I would still consider it.

RTH height at zero is likely an app issue so we may see another update to the app soon

Anybody ever seen "Battery Signal Error" before? I've just seen it on a flight about 5 minutes ago. It only showed for a couple of seconds but I landed it ASAP to be on the safe side.

Got my inspire with me here for a few weeks. Can anybody recommend any good flying spots in the Brindisi area? Any general tips for flying in Italy would be appreciated too. TIA

Same area as Harry

Another person reporting this is occurring after a couple of successful post calibration flights in the same location. This experience almost exactly mirrors mine though I thankfully managed to get mine down without damage. Keep us posted please with what they say.

The Simulator isn't available on Android unfortunately. Keep us posted with what DJI say please harry?

I don't think the OP means you personally sell them fwiw. I think he means "If you sell them" referring to DJI

This was brought up on dji.com. Currently there is not however the representative did mention they were reporting the issue.

Even putting that aside though there are still people reporting battery failures and altitude loss that are not attributable to a compass calibration so I'm still sure we'll see new firmware soon to correct these things. And as mentioned I had compass issues after flying over 20 minutes...

It's not really that simple Harry. The app can think it is safe to fly because it is calibrated and has a gps signal but it does not know if your initial calibration was subject to an external influence such as a heavy mass metal object throwing the compass off.

Excellent post TE that sums everything up really well for new pilots. I still maintain that checking MOD values are within tolerance is something the app could be doing. Maybe not exclusively but I don't see why not. It would not prevent a bad initial IMU calibration but it would prevent some...

Another point to note is when this type of behaviour has occurred for me I have calibrated (compass and IMU) then flown a couple of batteries beforehand with no issues whatsoever. I'm willing to accept the compass may drift slightly across a few batteries but not enough to cause this type of...
