How can I Unlock Travel Mode for Inspire 1?

The aircraft is in Travel Mode during delivery. In this mode, the landing gear is half way between the retracted (up) and deployed (down) state. The landing gear needs to be deployed to attach a camera. Follow these steps to deploy the landing gear (put the aircraft in Landing Mode):

  1. Place the Inspire on a flat surface clear of any obstructions (the propellors do not need to be installed).
  2. Insert the battery into the battery compartment.
  3. Power on the Remote Controller and the Inspire.
  4. Toggle the Transformation Switch up and down at least four times.
  5. The aircraft body will slowly raise as the landing gear deploys.
  6. Power off the aircraft.

Note:

  • If you have purchased the dual remote controller version, you must use the Master remote controller to deactivate Travel Mode.
  • Be sure to remove the camera from the aircraft before switch from Landing Mode to Travel Mode.
  • The ultrasonic sensor underneath the aircraft is used to determine when the landing gear is at the right position. Smooth reflective surfaces will work better than rough, sound-absorbing surfaces (e.g. carpet).
