Hi

I dropped my TX... Stupid I know. I'm not flying the Inspire yet (too cold), but I've been testing gimbal/camera and flying the simulator with the bird inside.

It basically dropped about 3.5 feet, onto my kid's plastic toy, which was on a soft carpet. It looks ok, no damage that I can see..

My Question:

a) Does anything need to be calibrated after a jolt to the Tx?

b) Can I verify it's working ok using only the simulator?

c) Are there any settings in the app to check if everything's ok?

Thanks

Tx are pretty tough.
If you did not break any switches or antennas, I'd think you're okay.
Is there anything obviously not working?

I once dropped my new JR9303 from about 2' and snapped off two switches.
It happens...

Personally I would send it for testing to dji considering the safety issues and potential cost implications if it is damaged. Failing that I would calibrate your Tx anyway. Then test it using the simulator. If that works ok, get a friend to help you range test the Tx with your inspire with the props off. I hope it is all ok.

Where is the program for the Inspire TX?  It can't be the same foe the Phantom?
