Quad, travel mode works on the case if you orient the Inspire aligned with the grooves when the copter moves.

We've had our annual two days of winter, the weather is getting perfect for quads to receive their sun and fresh air. Looking for like minded pilots.

I had my iPad show disconnect when I changed batteries, but it always came back online. I turn off Inspire, turn off controller (to conserve battery while changing batteries on Inspire and take a little break), then turn on controller, turn on Inspire. You can also try the re-link button on...

jhardway, congrats. If your flying experience was like mine, you will feel better about the 3K purchase. I flew mine yesterday for the first time, an hour total (4 batteries). Each flight was seamless and trouble free. Even the last flight when it was in GPS mode for several minutes before I...

Read the user manual over and over. Watch the instructional videos. Go through the checklist. Make sure everything has been charged before the flight. Compass and IMU calibrations are important. As Adreyzasran stated, fly alone so you can concentrate. Stay in an open area. ATTI manual mode is...

Seeing as I already obtained three TB48 batteries, my next purchase will be a Marco Polo GPS Locator unit, just in case the unfortunate should occur. And maybe extra props.

From what I understand, and could be wrong as it was explained to me, the initial units released didn't have the camo legs. This version does, henceforth, Version B. I had asked before ordering because I didn't want to receive an early created unit that was sitting on a shelf for the past two or...

Then I was real lucky. Omar even phoned me to say he was personally taking the shipment to the post office, should arrive tomorrow. From Arizona to here in Florida, that's pretty quick overnight delivery. Unit is Inspire Version B, with camo carbon fiber legs.

The trigger has been pulled, the button pressed, the Inspire is being processed and on the way to my eager arms!! Decided to purchase from FPV Ninjas. Omar has been very professional, the Ninja's customer service is top notch. Made me glad I ordered from them. With overnight shipping, prop locks...

Compass calibration - are you wearing metal (watch, keys, cell phone emissions interfering with readings). IMU calibrations, are you doing basic or advanced, and are you doing a full IMU cal after a firmware update?

I'm seriously considering next Friday as the purchase date, still gathering data from others on this forum, which has been very helpful in collecting things to do and watch for, in preparation of that first flight.

So, Jerk, what was buggy about it? Hardware, software, firmware, the unit itself? Details.

I think I've decided next Friday will be the day to pull the trigger. Spend some more time pouring over the manual and videos, get it in my hands and get into the flight simulator, go through the check list post on the forum and various calibrations until I can do them in my sleep. Then . . ...

Somewhere between two weeks and two months I'm sure I will order one as well. Trying to hold out, the more I read the user manual and watch Youtube review and instructional videos, it's getting harder to resist.
