    Inspire 1 pro went walkabout !!

    The only log I can find is the actual flight pattern. In the "Warnings" there is a reference to power control limited due to battery. Correction to above the speeds were in fact 5 m/s upto the point I lost transmission and then it went to 18 m/s !! Its definetly flying backwards at speed after...

    Inspire 1 pro went walkabout !!

    I have now revued the log and I am more mystified. It shows the take off and home point being the same - then the flight progresses as planned up to 25 metres high then along the tree line at a steady pace 5 mph. Then approx 65 metres away it turns left suddenly then procedes over the trees...

While flying along a tree line - trees on left sowed field on right, sloping ground to right, I suddenly got lost transmission warnings and then...

    FPV camera on Inspire 1 Pro

    Same range as the moverio glasses however range is not an issue for commercial work as not likely to fly outside 200 to 300 metres. Range is also dependent upon obstacles such as trees or buildings as LOS has to be maintained.

    FPV camera on Inspire 1 Pro

    Thought some of you might be interested in fitting a 2nd camera (FPV) to the above drone and problems encountered. The problem I had was that when flying with a camera person (slave controller) it was not always clear from the LOS aircraft in which direction it was flying or pointing...

    Inspire 1 Pro compass connector 2nd connector

    After much rummaging around I found another solution here: http://www.uavmods.co.uk/ I would still like to know if my original idea above is acheivable. ttfn

    Inspire 1 Pro compass connector 2nd connector

    I have fitted a FPV camera and transmitter on my drone for dual controller operations. This is run off a battery slung under the existing airframe. Somewhere I found details of useing the unused connector next to the compass connector at the front of the drone for power. (image attached and red...

    Retirement

    I too was a little "put out" by the comment on "retirees". As a UK PPL, QFI and some 1000 hours experience I took up my CAA PfCO because I was interested in the new drones and wanted to keep working and earn extra funds over my pension. I am 70 this year. I only take on jobs that I want to take...

    Drone test

    Presumable the PfCO superceeds the on line test proposed however you will still have to register any drones you might have.
