Old thread new life. The issue I had was a fault with the firmware at the time. Looking at the logs you could see the drone was dropping GPS and going ATTI it was cycling modes in the air. I saw this in latter logs with my second I1 but not as bad. After a few firmware updates the cycling...

Hi All My Inspire 1 is for sale. It only has around 3hrs flying time. Dual Control B model in perfect condition it comes with 2 batteries TB47 and TB48. The original spin on props and couple of QR prop kits are included. I am located in Brisbane and would like to sell to a local buyer if...

I did apply for an ARN which I got. I was going down the Licence path then I heard things were going to change. I am not chasing "Paid" work I just want to be able to market my own images.
