To be clear, I'm no Apple fan boy and have honestly not used or cared for any Apple products until I got my Inspire 1. I have to say that the iPad has been rock solid reliable. I don't regret my purchase. The good news is that you can find used iPads on eBay for faily cheap. And even my most...

The answer and the cure is legacy everything. Legacy Go App on a legacy iPad running legacy iOS with legacy firmware installed on your Inspire 1. With all of the "good old stuff," your Inspire will fly like a top. The newer, the worser™. I am running Go App v3.1.1. This works on my legacy...

Copy that. Interesting. I understand the definition. I was asking about the threshold. I would call 100 broken antennas systemic....not 5 or even 10. No sir. So...to understand the problem better... They are breaking because they are fragile? It's not an inherent design flaw like...

Well if the antenna is replaceable, why not just replace it? How expensive could they be? I mean, how often could you possibly break those antennas? Once or twice in your life?? What do you mean by "systematic problem?" I don't think I've ever broken one in well over 10 years of quadcopter...

The antenna looks replaceable to me. Is that not the case? D

It's too bad you don't have a second Inspire 1. The best way to isolate issues is to trade out components. It might be worth searching for another Inspire 1 in your area. D

Just curious what all of your firmwares are; Bird, batteries, cameras. D
