Max operating temps Utah in July?

[zack_agl]

Looking to fly an Inspire 3 around Utah this month and daytime temps get up to 105°. That hovers right around the max recommended battery temp (104°) but in full sunshine and with the batteries working hard, guessing the battery temp will exceed that number.

Anyone fly the Inspire 3 (or a similiar DJI larger drone) in these types of conditions and able to share their experience?

Is it safe to fly the Inspire 3 in these temps at all?

Chances are it'll be fine. However, I don't know how much Inspire batteries cost, but my guess is, a LOT. I think with high heat, it's less a question of is it safe, and more about taking care of those batteries. I routinely refuse jobs if the temp is over 100.
