INAV 8.0: For When You Actually Want Your Quad Back

Let's be honest, Betaflight's GPS 'rescue' can feel a bit like a lottery ticket. If you're tired of gambling with your expensive HD kit, it might be time to consider INAV 8.0. Painless360 has put together a rather compelling case for switching, showing you how to get a drone to fly home on purpose, not by accident.

Of course, there's a catch. INAV asks for a little more of your time, most notably with its six-point accelerometer calibration. It's a bit of a faff, we won't lie. But it's the price of admission for autonomous features that are less 'suggestion' and more 'instruction'. See for yourself.

What do you get for your trouble? A Return-to-Home that reliably returns. A loiter mode that actually parks your quad in the sky. And a failsafe that doesn't just give up. It's the grown-up firmware for pilots who've learned that gravity is undefeated. If you’re convinced, the full, unabridged guide covers everything from backing up to tuning hover throttle, because doing things properly is the whole point. Read it here.
