Cruise ship Inspire 1 EPIC!
- Thread starter Harry Nicholson

Great shots out there, I rather would be starting nearer the ship, so you can fly more VLOS.
Question about the ''weak transmission signal'' The signal gets weak or maybe lost more times, especially around 2'.00 minutes and 3'30''. And the guy keeps flying!
I got that same message sometimes and it 'scares me' a bit. What is happening? Does it only have to do with the video transmission or is the Bird starting to loose control. How is the right thing to react?

That's the problem. You wont get shots like this, for this long within LOS. Mine does that anytime I become unaware that i'm pointing my controller antennae in the wrong direction or away from the inspire. Or another example is if I go behind a line of trees or something.
Its not so much the image transmission signal you need to worry about, as I believe (correct me if i'm wrong here, pros) that this is a break in the lightbridge signal, not the 2.4 controlling your inspire. It's the signal loss from your transmitter that could create loss of control temporarily, which SHOULD trigger an auto RTH if you've taken all the precautions in setting your home point, etc. However as soon as it's within range again you can take full control again. I think the inspire also gives an audible warning when this happens, I haven't messed with it that much. I pretty much fly mine around close range doing low level stuff in atti mode. Plus it keeps me sharp on my other single rotor helis this way.
