    Seeking opinions on firmware versions

    I would only recommend using an Android device to roll back as I've had issues with iOS tablets. One the splash screen there are three horizontal lines in the top right corner - touch and hold for approx 10 seconds and it will take you to a screen with the ability to roll back the firmware -...

    china charger

    Does anyone know of a source for just the charging leads for the Inspire 2? I have charger with a LiHV charge setting that works perfectly for Inspire 1 batteries - just need the leads for the new batteries for the Inspire 2

    Inspire 1 Firmware update issue 7/10/17 v 01.11.01.50 .

    If anyone wants to downgrade the Inspire firmware multiple steps, create an empty file using notepad or an equivalent text editor on the root directory of the SD Card with the file name - no extension: WM610_FW_DEBUG if using an X3 camera or WM610_FC550_FW_DEBUG if using an X5 camera Go...

    Battery Mod Info

    Question for anyone who has flown with the battery mod with a re-packed set of main cells. I was doing that some 12 months ago - using a TB48 battery board and 4000mAh of Turnigy Multistars LiHV inside the battery housing and 5200mAh outside. I did gain flight time, however monitoring the...

    I would do that in a heartbeat, but something comparable, say a GH4 and the connex for video transmission in cost alone would be more than the Inspire and X5 given the second hands prices now

    Seeking opinions on firmware versions

    That's what I tried also, but cutting from the inside to breach just the carbon tube then trying to heat the epoxy back to it's liquid temp. The plastic gives way before the epoxy does unfortunately. Heating the aluminium for the centre of the boom I had to basically get the carbon tube...

    Seeking opinions on firmware versions

    Yeah agreed, I hope I didn't come off as dismissive. I'm aiming for ~25% more thrust, which will compensate for extra battery weight - which will be repacked with proper 10C batteries @ 6000mAh, plus an extra 3000mAh external for flights with the X5. I wouldn't be doing this if I could sweat...

    Seeking opinions on firmware versions

    OUCH - that has always been a loathsome feature, the batteries turning off to save themselves, the only upside I can see from you story is that the motors didn't shut off, not that the end result would have been any different

    Seeking opinions on firmware versions

    All good points, and I understand where you're coming from, which is why I've asked the question I do remember the TBE from compass errors with very early firmware, major PITA if you got one of those units, as well as the self discharge killing batteries. Repaired a few units which fell from...

    Seeking opinions on firmware versions

    Yeah if the insurers knew the truth of some of the firmware updates that would prescribe otherwise. When people used to get excited about firmware I used to say - you DON'T want to be the first, EVER. Just to clarify, you got propulsion output limited - correct? Not the motor obstruction and...

    Seeking opinions on firmware versions

    I'm using these Wiggle | Ritchey Pro Road/TT S-Bend Extensions | Aero Handlebars They're in transit, but the outer diameter of the tube is 22.2mm which means removing either a little from the inside of the aluminium arm section from broken outer arm sections which I already have with the broken...

    Seeking opinions on firmware versions

    When I say modified it's the batteries, reminiscent of the Battery mods on this site, having the installed battery with a bridge plug on the negative to prevent it powering off as well as a second set of cells wired directly to the centre board - that part is easy. The other MOD is changed...

    Seeking opinions on firmware versions

    The firmware which was on the bird being flown was second most recent I believe, so v1.10.1.40 - though I will check later today. Both remotes were on v1.7.80. The to be modified craft is currently on v1.1.0.40 which was released 2015.11.24, I had rolled it back to v1.0.0.30 which was the...

    Seeking opinions on firmware versions

    Hi Guys, I'm making a seriously modified Inspire 1 for risky work, basically the jobs that don't merit risking an Inspire 2, over water, rough terrain etc. One reason I'm doing this also is because I was on job last week and every second flight I got hit with distance limits - this whilst...
