As weregetting up to the 115f temperature in the Arizona desert, wondering howeveryone's battery temperature is doing. With the temps climbing the air isgetting thinner which means increasing thrust putting more strain on the batt.Also how is your bird doing in maneuvering in the high heat?

We are in Dallas and the days hits been in the high 80's and low 90's have made the batteries really hot. It takes a long time to cool them down before being able to even think of charging them again. Also, be careful of your motors. You'll notice they get really hot as well.

I live in a valley where it can reach 110 easy...In 90 degree weather the batteries reach around 52 degrees celsius. The battery can withstand up to 70 degree celsius as it says on it's body...But I don't think the batteries will even heat up higher than 55 degrees celsius.

I flew at the dry lake bed in Vegas today was about 112 slight breeze, same here batteries took a long tome to cool down also noticed a loss of flight time only got 10-12 min flights usually average 15-16

Just tested at 110f and Batt temp reached 138f. Motors were very hot, and the Gimbal seemed to be hotter the the motors.

I was curious on this as well. I am planning a trip this week to Phoenix and was debating taking my Inspire but thought the brutal heat might take a toll on her. Anyone seeing any issues with the inspire after flight, other than loss of run time? Also, how many batteries are you running? I typically run three at a time and not sure if that could be trouble too.

You should be ok. I would let the bird cool down at the time of your batt change, the motors worry me. I found today why the Gimbal was so hot, the fan was not running on the camera. I detached it and cleaned the connections with air, reattached and fan is now running and the Gimbal is cooler now. Checking the Gimbal fan running is now on my pre flight list.

Chris... How has your video signal been on Digital the last few months?

I haven't been flying the past 2 months because of the heat out here. Battery, motors & iPad getting way to hot for my comfort.

Yup... Was curious since I'm in this AZ heat also! Loss of Video when digital gets
