Inspire 1 looses gps; changes to Atti mode & drifts

[TransArctic]

My Inspire 1 frequently looses gps; changes to Atti mode and drifts with the wind. Happens at different locations. Would appreciate suggestions to fix this issue. It can be scary and tricky to avoid crashing. Thank you.

Has your aircraft ever suffered a crash or hard landing?
If so, the Ublox module which is ceramic can suffer a fracture or crack which will affect GPS reception sensitivity.

One hard landing. However, this loss of GPS signal was a recurring problem prior to that event; in fact, it has always been an issue. Thank you for the reply..

I have been experiencing the same issue. Replace the GPS module and it occurred once in 3 flights. More testing to come but very unsettling.
