Just got a brand new Inspire 1!

Came across a decent deal so I decided to return to the I1.

     It arrived yesterday and upon opening the sealed box I immediately noticed this bird has 1345LS prop locks already installed. "Must be from a recent production run", was my thought. This was confirmed when I looked at the sticker on the case. Production date: (Y/M) 2018/2. This baby is only 2 months old!!!

Maiden flights this evening. Performed like a champ. 43mph in P mode. 54mph in A mode.

     Here are a few stills and a short video clip. I am using a Z3 zoom camera.

Congrats! Nice shot. Always a relief to discover that your 'new drone' hasn't been sat in a warehouse for half a year!

Yeah, my fear was that it had sat in a warehouse for 2 years and the battery would be D.O.A.
I was going to order 1345LS locks for it. Glad I held off!

Nice video and pictures, thanks for sharing. Happy flying!

Nice work Aero, what lens were you using for the sunset closeup, or is that a cropped post edited image?

A.U.S.

That is a zoomed image of the same sunset shown directly below it.
All of these were shot with the Z3 zoom camera.

Great drone indeed, is it a V1 or V2?

The reason I asked because the arms looked like the V1 pattern maybe it's just a bad picture.

Bad pic.
Shot with my phone in bad light.

T601 - Definite woven carbon fiber, not the spiral camo stuff.
