Hi All,
I am very, VERY interested in the Inspire 1. I would really love to purchase one as I have saved up for long enough now, to buy a decent craft.
I love everything about the Inspire. From functionality, style to simpicity of flying. I have watched many, many clips on the Inspire and it truly has me wanting to buy one now.
I am one of these people who like to know what I am getting so before I make a purchase, I do a lot of reading. So far, from these forums and others like Inspire Pilots, I found my self reading more about issue after issue, rather than positive after positive. I understand that the Inspire has not been on the market for an extended period of time however I would have thought that such a craft would be made very safe before release.
Issues I read about are;
Inspires hovering at a few meters only to shoot off in to trees (changing from GPS to ATTI mode randomly),
Inspires coming to land, hovering, losing signal and shooting straight up,
Inspires hovering at a few meters and motors shutting off (possible cause due to activating shut down sequence in flight. NOT GOOD)'
Landing gear traveling higher on one side than the other causing major vibrations,
Langing gear not retracting at all and having to take a screwdriver to it to move the worm drive, (out of the box)
Propellers flying off (I know a fix has been released),
Motors smoking,
Batteries dropping from 40% to below 10% in a matter of seconds almost crashing the craft.
And the latest, cells in the batteries not having the same voltage and being told this is normal. This is NOT normal. That is why LiPo an LiOn equalise. This maybe the cause of the issue I listed above.
So with all this negative news, I am wondering, has anyone yet, have any 100% positive, trouble free stories they can share with me/us about their Inspire?
Is there going to be a firmware update soon and do you think that the issues will be resolved in this update?
I really do not want to hold off much longer however at the same time, I do not want to spend $3.7k to only crash and burn or more inportantly, injure someone!
Any stories or info would be greatly appreciated.
