Air 2s heating up on the underside

[rmoran8994]

Even on short flights, my Air 2s seems to get really hot on the underside of the drone. Is this normal? It seems extremely hot to me.

welcome to the forum!
mine gets warm on the belly also, but not too hot to handle.
check if you have any vents blocked.

Before I had Air 2 and takes hot also, but right now Air 2S gets hotter more than Air 2.

Battery also is hotter than Air 2, but for me this is coming from the Air 2S body.

The ribbed metal part of the underside is a heat sink.
Heat sinks are supposed to get hot ... that's what they do.

IT'S NORMAL FOR THE AIR2S. It gets really hot. The batteries easily get over 70 or 80 C when flying in 90-100 F degree weather in sport mode. I've had mine for 2mnths and talked with other forum members about it. The experienced ones concur that it's normal and nothing to worry about. I've really pushed my Air2S and have also flown it with considerable weight loads attached while in sport mode. The batteries haven't swelled and the app has not issued any warnings. I've learned to be ok with it. As a usual preflight check, always check your batteries for swelling, if you see any, don't use the battery, it may pop out or cause a malfunction.

Air2s undercarriage feels “hot” after flying - Normal??

Yesterday was my 10th or so Air2s flight. Sunset flight in Denver with 86 degree outside temp. All my flights are photography related so I am not pushing the drone whatsoever. Yesterday’s flight was about 1500 feet out at 300 feet altitude, at slow speeds (never in a hurry...). I do tend to...
