    USA Newest member of the exclusive "Certified UAV Pilots" club here.

    I agree about remote Pilots 101. All in all a great course, but their practice test does need some work. Plus every time I took it (and I took it about 15 times) at least 5 questions would be repeated within the 60. If I had to guess I'd say maybe 6 questions were on the test. I also took the...

    Cold IMU calibration issue ... again.

    Desert and Dobmatt I'm agreeing with the editor. Don't do it and fly. I did it back in December and have had zero issues. It's much more than fractions of a second by the way. Do what's best for you and have fun!

    Cold IMU calibration issue ... again.

    They actually do mean cold as in temperature. From what I understand the IMU begins to heat up the second the craft is powered on, doing a cold calibration will greatly reduce warmup times. During the IMU calibration, the craft is collecting data at various temperatures about it's IMU sensors...

    Inspak review from DroneGear

    I did the mod last month, was quite easy and took about an hour with a small snap off utility knife. This case rocks and has totally changed the way I fly as far as getting to remote locations. So much better than the straps that you attach to the original Inspire case. Go here to see more...

    Just got my Inspire. Did I get a used one?

    Did it require you to register when you first powered it up? If so stop freaking out and just enjoy your bird!

    X3 Camera keeps crashing, lose all camera functions

    Yes only had it less than 2 months. The last time I flew it did a few weird things like stop recording after 30 seconds (happened twice) but then it was fine. I guess I'm contacting DJI.....

    X3 Camera keeps crashing, lose all camera functions

    X3 Camera keeps "crashing" Hey Guys ran into a major issue today. My I1 V2 with X3 will record for a few seconds then all of the camera info will say N/A. It will do it when recording or not actually, after about 20 seconds when all info is there it will just go to N/A across the board. Still...

    Received my Inspire back from RMA. Issue not resolved.

    Man Jesse hate hearing this. It's such a shame that there are so many reports of unhappy RMA's with a company that is definitely making some cash. Do you know anyone with an iPad mini or another tablet you can test? There are lots of original Inspire cases on eBay for pretty cheap but yes the...

    What settings do you prefer on the control sticks?

    I'm not sure you can swap just pitch and yaw without also swapping throttle and fwd/rev pitch (Model 1or Mode 2) I could totally be wrong. I think most of us here who have been flying heli's (either single rotor or quads) for a while are just used to Mode 2, with pitch on right stick and...

    Cold Weather Inspire Deaths

    Thanks Mad. I was wondering if it was a Healthy Drones anomaly, but I gotta ask myself is it worth the risk? Kinda freaks me out especially with the recent 'falling from the sky' episode that gave him the same deviation. I'm considering going back to 1.5 if it is indeed the new cold weather...

    Battery swelling with 3 batteries

    I thought the exact same thing when I looked at your pics "Those batteries look fine to me, if they are swollen then all of mine are as well!!". Glad to hear a positive end to what seemed like a bummer of a story at first glance.

    Cold Weather Inspire Deaths

    Man I hate hearing this! So bummed for you. Hopefully they will replace everything as it's pretty obvious the battery failed. I noticed after a flight yesterday that one of my packs is exhibiting the same behavior in cell 1 as well and looking back at the flights history has done it every time...

    I Want My mah Back!

    Have you done a calibration? I'm still in my 10 cycle break in period (running to 50% then charging to 100%) and have noticed a slight decrease in mah that I'm hoping will return when I calibrate.

    Inspak Pro/X5 Core - Extra Prop vs. Extra Battery

    So for those with your current case they won't be able to just buy the new insert, they will have to get the whole new case? Or when you say raise the top lid you mean just the new x5 insert?
