Starling 2 Max runs hot
-
Hi ModalAI,
I have the following two variations of the Starling 2 Max Dev Drone:
Starling 2 Max GPS-denied Development Drone (Purchased Sept 2025)
with Battery Pack and Controller and Case / Dual 4k & Dual Tracking & ToF (C29) / Microhard pMDDL2450 WiFi and Ghost Atto 2.4GHz
ECCN: EAR99, NLRStarling 2 Max GPS-denied Development Drone (Purchased May 2026 and July 2026)
with Battery Pack and Controller and Case / Dual 4k & Dual Tracking & ToF (C29) / Microhard pMDDL2450 and ELRS 915MHz
ECCN: EAR99, NLRThe drone purchased in Sept 2025 runs approximately 6 to 10 degrees Celsius hotter than the ones purchased in May and July of 2026. Bottom line, the board as a whole runs hotter of which causes the entire drone to behave differently because of the IMU sensors being heat sensitive. Can someone at ModalAI help explain why this would be the case and how we can fix this issue?
