    The WiFi Extender kit - as seen on eBay

    This is the kit available from the seller called: rexuav It contains everything needed to add both control boost and FPV boost. Realistically, up to 4x more range can be expected from this upgrade, under ideal conditions.

    Pretty elegant, eh? For $100 I'll send you everything you need, including the pre-drilled bracket and the link to a detailed instructional video.

    The battery is connected to the back of the iPad holder by means of two strips of velcro. This allows the entire assembly to be easily removed.

    WiFi Extender - Control & FPV

    This is the kit, as advertised on eBay. When it arrives, it has everything you need to boost BOTH antennas. The problem is, it's up to the owner to come up with a way of attaching all of this extra hardware to the Inspire controller. I think I came up with a fairly good solution! It cost about $10.

    Firmware update - risk of bricking ?

    Fantastic update!!! Thank you!

    Firmware update - risk of bricking ?

    Wow! Just like we thought! Well... aren't we clever. LOL I'm glad that's confirmed. I'm sure a lot of people are wondering about the grayed-out IOC. Nice work!!

    Firmware update - risk of bricking ?

    Agreed - that IOC issue needs to be clarified. Actually, the reason I jumped on the 1.4 update so quickly was specifically because I intend on using the Inspire for precision agriculture, IR surveying, and 3D Mapping. Waypoint navigation is the only way to accomplish that. From what I've been...

    Firmware update - risk of bricking ?

    8 Minutes. Yes - that's what I would expect. I'm not sure what's going on with the IOC. That's a bit disturbing. The only thing I can think of (without one in-hand) is that the new waypoint navigation somehow supersedes the functionality of the IOC. Maybe the IOC is now obsolete??

    Yeah, I would say that more than qualifies you! Yikes!

    Firmware update - risk of bricking ?

    Scotflieger - that's yet another interesting perspective, pertaining to the error problem. Actually, the bird is en route to California for repair as we speak, but I never actually attempted an even earlier version than 1.3. That would have been my next move - had I thought of it. D'oh!! LOL...

    Firmware update - risk of bricking ?

    Wow!! Now THAT'S an angle I hadn't considered. I'm not sure, to be honest. I don't remember ever having errors while running on the 1.3 version, so I'd have to say that the errors started with 1.4. The other possibility is that the bird went into a kind of "feedback loop" whereby it generated...

    Firmware update - risk of bricking ?

    Scotflieger - I understand what you're saying, as well as the process. Actually, I had already updated to 1.3 when it was released earlier in August. My process was as follows: 1) Wiped the SD card that I use most often 2) Reformatted the card (just to be sure) 3) Dropped the 1.4 .bin file onto...
