Firmware Update Time

[wheelsee]

I just got my Inspire and am trying to do the firmware update.

It said to allow ~25 minutes, I'm not going on over 30 minutes and it's still making the dot matrix printer style sound.

How long should this take?

What sound is it? Like "D-D-D"? If so I think its safe to reboot it and upgrade the radio. Mine took like 10-15mins or so, but mine lost video signal so i didnt have any progress bar

It was three D's...I eventually stopped it and checked the log file...Success!

The upgrade manual clearly says 4 D's during updating, 3 when finished.

manual states upgrade AC first then RC. some youtube video says RC then AC.

@Kilrah yes thank you...what threw me off was the pause indicated in the manual...I wasn't hearing a pause.

The controller upgrade was much clearer, as it had a status light to indicate upgrading versus upgrade complete.

If only the aircraft had some sort of status light.
