The Drone Innovation Act of 2017 was introduced by Representative Jason Lewis on June 16, 2017. It was referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. This bill is similar to Senator Feinstein’s Drone Federalism Act recently introduced in that it seeks to clarify this murky...

Interesting theory, but not true. Im involved (about in the middle of the food chain) of the Title 14(CFRs) rulemaking process ;)

This isn't cool. Please write your Congress Person. No more Private Public Rule-making - Why Should Congress Wait for Drone Advisory Committee Secrets? - sUAS News - The Business of Drones

Longer props or an increase of pitch (induced drag)

LOL. Nice. For those who didn't think of this: You would switch your transmitter out of p mode (panic mode LOL) while bench testing and you wouldn't have the issue @The Editor mentioned ;)

Read it again we're not testing the ESC's or the EMU, ect. We're "bench testing" the thermal output of the motors based on a baseline (eom props). I've been doing this for years and it is the only practice used by dozens of fleet techs everywhere. If you have an issue with this method, then...

Just trying to help out these props maybe a good addition for the Inspire. The ESC's and motor combos on the Mavic and Matrices 200 series were chosen to work with specific props which directly effect the motor's generated heat . I always strongly advise to bench test the effects of swapping...

Well, from Arizona, USA. LOL To be honest, I do not own an I2 (where I've been posting since yesterday) but I maybe purchasing one soon. I shoot with a couple of custom heavys' though. I'm a founder of a sUAS PBC and part of being a member of the organization is that 15% of my time on the...

That's close to Standard Day. I would not think they would be an issue. I would if it were hotter out and the humidity was high too. However, something is causing the AC to "think" there is additional drag on the motor(s). Do you have a test bench? If so, strap it down, take three props off and...

I am curious, what average altitude, temp and humidity have you been flying in? I launch an average of 35 flights a week anywhere from 10FT/MSL to 7.5kFT/MSL and 105°F ~30°F here in AZ. Thnx!

As an aeronautical electromechanical engineer of 15yrs so I am legally bound to facts. Here's a basic 101 book to help bring you up to speed: Motors & Drives: A Practical Technology Guide

Decrease it and experiment.

Longevity is still Unknown because the I2 is still too new. I'm an aeronautical electromechanical engineer and my dad designed the first generators (motors working electrically backwards) used on wind turbines in the 70's. Excessive heat in the windings causes them to degrade over time which...

I'm an Android guy but unfortunately dji's development focus is geared for Apple devices [emoji34] For those of you who are not aware but Apple is currently in talks of buying out dji. Nooooooo!!! LOL anyways...
