    Inspire 1 Altitude variance from take off to landing at same location

    I feel pretty confident with it, I don't usually fly it below 3 meters, haven't had the need. Glad you saw some improvement after calibrating the IMU. Cheers

    Inspire 1 Altitude variance from take off to landing at same location

    It kinda depends how windy it is. I have 3 Inspire 1 Pro's and they all do it somewhat but one is a little worse than the others. I have seen the 2-3 meter altitude loss. From what I can glean on these forums thats kinda normal, especially is you are flying in some pretty good wind or horsing...

    Inspire 1 Altitude variance from take off to landing at same location

    I have 3 Inspire 1 Pro's and all of them are at least 20ft off at the end of a flight. Shutting down and starting back up zero's the altitude but as the flight progresses the altitude error gets worse, usually showing that the aircraft is higher than it actually is. Misery loves company?

    New FW 1.8.1.00 Issued 7 Apr 16

    I just did 3 Pro's and noticed that at the end of the aircraft/battery update the green light on the camera is very dim. With previous updates it was bright steady green. Checked the SD card after and the txt file said the update was successful. At first I wasn't sure if the update was complete...

    changing devices...???

    So if you were an idiot like me and did not sync your flight records to the cloud I am assuming they are gone.

    Can I Use Same iPad For 2 Different Inspire 1's?

    Thanks! Does the Go app differentiate between the two drones?

    Can I Use Same iPad For 2 Different Inspire 1's?

    I have a couple of Inspire 1s and was wondering if I can use the same iPad Air 2 for both of them? Cheers

    Flight Times at High Altitude

    Got 4, two regulars and 2 of the "high capacities". As I said we will have to see what kind of flight times I get here at 1800 meters (6100ft). I ordered the high altitude props so I am looking forward to seeing what kind of performance I get. I am a retired helicopter pilot and have worked out...

    Flight Times at High Altitude

    I do have the heater. As I said in an earlier post I think that there are a number of factors going on with high altitude ops. Firstly the props must turn faster in order to generate the lift in the thinner air therefore using more power from the batteries. Wind would definitely be a factor as...

    Yup ordered some last thx for the advice.

    Flight Times at High Altitude

    I am operating at 1800 meters above sea level and have noticed significantly lower flight times than normal. My theory is the motors are having to work harder in the thin air to produce the lift needed to operate the drone. I'm also a helicopter pilot and the performance of the machine is...
