I did use youtube for reference but it's been awhile and I can no longer find the the link. I reviewed this newer youtube video and it details the process I followed. I used a soda can to fabricate a heat shield and and a heat gun with an aluminum funneled tip to better concentrate the heat. I...

I have fixed a phantom 4 rc using the hot air re-solder method and it actually took a lot more heat than I thought it should. That little ic still maybe the culprit. It took me 3 tries to finally get it hot enough to settle and reconnect. There's nothing lost in giving it another shot.

This is true. In addition, have them supply your sd cards or charge them for the cards as part of the job. Suggest to them that you give them the unedited cards upon completion of the flight(s). They need to have a detective with you at all times. Chain of evidence is important or a defense...

The M600 drivers are in somewhat the same boat with the TB47/48s's. They could potentially be another good customer for a forward thinking aftermarket battery supplier.

Tail rotor failures have caused plenty of accidents. FAA database for details. UAV into a tail rotor would be all kinds of bad. Ag aircraft consistently must fly at 100kts plus within 50' of the ground. No changing that. Just pointing out some of the flaws in your "flawless" proposal. Sorry

I gotta side with Philztoy. Helo in a hover (0mph) could easily be brought down by a uav flying into it's tail rotor. Reclassifying airspace doesn't insure separation. I'm sure ag planes would have a problem with the limit also.

I would also like to thank dougcjohn . I have 3 - I1 Pros and related gear, including 12 TB-48's that I treat like gold these days. I have hung onto 3 dead 48's and a couple of 47's. It is encouraging to know we may have an option, at least until they decide to retire the 600.

I don't recall viewing the app w/o the hdmi board. It's been a year ago or more since I had a bad Inspire RC. Sorry.

I feel your pain. I have repaired 2 I1 rc's by replacing the hdmi board when they would not connect to any device including, iphone, ipad, android and crystal sky. I tried all kinds of cables, etc. but only the replacement of the hdmi board woke them up. You could try this but that didn't work...

It looked like a lot of wind at launch and the camera didn't help both with drag and if that was contact with a prop,,, well I am amazed a whole aircraft was the result. I know we'd all like to see more flight time out of the I1 but this is a testament to what a great platform the I1 was / is...

I would check the mount, flat cables etc also. Look carefully at each connector on the gimble plate to make sure none are bent etc. Trying another camera on your I1 as mentioned, would also eliminate a connection issue.

Share some video for those of us on the west coast.

You can try this link. https://www.dslrpros.com/pdfs/diy-inspire-fpv-install.pdf for a better description of an FPV setup using a monitor but I think the headset should be similar. I have a I1 pro running this setup.

We have limited exposure to frozen lakes but we do train for ice rescue also and that use is another good idea. Thanks! We have used paracord as a messenger to deliver a tension diagonal (usually 9.5mm or so) for swiftwater rescue. That works pretty well as long as the river isn't too wide. When...

Lapeer20m, Nice work! I too would be interested in your payload release for the M210. In addition, which inflatable rescue device are you using and what is the weight of that device. Spring is swiftwater season for us and we would like to have our M210 ready for PFD and messenger line...
