Hi. I just purchased the Inspire 1 RAW. It flies great, and I'm in love with the camera quality and the automation helping to maintain a safe operation. However the temperature in New York today is around 20 degrees F. After about five minutes of being outside, the RC Signal Strength rapidly decreases and drops. The inspire blinks yellow, and the RC LED turns red indicating the lost link.
The connection becomes stagnant, with a few seconds at a time that I can control the aircraft before I lose connection again. During periods of positive connection, the RC signal shows one bar, while the HD downlink is full. The aircraft maintains 12 satellites, but only bringing the remote and aircraft inside to warm up allow me to regain the link between the RC and aircraft.
The temperature outside is 20 degrees F, which is inside the operating range of the inspire (14 - 104), and remote control according to the users manual. Aircraft battery temp while in flight is around 25 degrees C, and i've got the battery insulation stickers installed (below 5C as specified in the manual).
My business partner reports being able to fly his Inspire 1v2 (with the x3 camera) without issues in temperatures as low as minus 10F. but I can't seem to get off the ground without a loss link for more than 5 minutes. DJI Tech Support has had me do everything from downgrade and reinstall firmware, to re-calibrating the IMU. I've tried experimenting by having the aircraft outdoors with the remote indoors and vice versa, and believe it's a problem with the RC battery getting cold, creating a very weak signal strength, which should not be happening at these temperatures, especially since i'm within the published operating parameters.
Have any of you experienced this issue? Any suggestions to remedy it? I plan on flying my inspire commercially in North Dakota (Just got my 107, and have been a private ASEL pilot for nearly 4 years), where it's basically required to be able to fly below freezing.
