Running in Hot Weather

[Spark 317]

I'm not sure of the cost, but I'm sure you can unscrew the cables and mount the antenna array right to the remote.

I've seen remote mods before including "how to" videos.

I have found a lot of discussion about flying in cold but wonder about higher temperatures. I know DJI says 104 deg F as a max but is it possible to push the envelope for short (sunset photo) flights?
This is very important to me since the temps here are outrageous to say the least.

Not many people have discussed the fact that ac fly much better in cool dry weather than in hot and or humid weather. Even as a pilot real aircraft really handle crappy in hot humid weather. This of course has nothing to do with aircraft and battery temps. So I am talking of performance.[emoji52]

It was just over 100F, and I got distracted leaving the bird sitting in the sun too long before powering up. The result was an IMU overheat message immediately after takeoff. Lesson re-learned.
No issues since then.

After the overheat message did it do anything such as auto land??
or up to you to initiate response.

I just quickly landed.
