Hello,
I upgraded my align 470 to the latest firmware and went for two flights on the 12/07/2022. All seemed well. Really impressed with the new rth function although at 30m the 470 looks like a dot in the sky.
When I came to look at the geolink flight logs the first one was as normal, one continuous 4 minute log. With the second flight the log was split into 5 short logs which I've never seen that before.
I checked the connections on the spirit pro and geolink which appeared okay (I disconnected and reconnected them to be sure).
I flew two flights today and all seem well with no problems in flight except when I checked the flight logs both were split up into many segments.
My other heli has been upgraded with the latest firmware and the geolink flight logs are continuous.
Is there anything I can try to sort this problem out?
Many thanks

Hello,

GeoLink flight logs are recorded when vibration level is over 5%. You can see the level in telemetry.
So when model will stop the motor, it will stop the log.

Can you check if vibration level drops above this percentage when flying?

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
I do not have telemetry on the heli so cannot see vibration levels during flight.
I've removed the main blades and carried out a vibration test using the spectrum analyzer (wi-fi link to iphone).
I have attached screen shots of results. There seems to be plenty of vibration so cannot see how the vibration level ever drops below 5% during flight?
Many thanks
