Hi RPR,
I have just done a video on heat build up and thought that you would be interested with the figures achieved.
There is no competition as you will see when you watch the video. There is another one coming with the FAN TOWER vs THE STDANDARD TOWER.
Keep and open mind.
My TH Plus arrived on August 17th 2018, and on one of my earlier post, was an inquiry if anyone used the tower that Yuneec sells for the H http://yuneec-prod.explorewebdev.com/Aero-Drone-GPS-compass-module This module is what Intel use on the https://software.intel.com/en-us/aero/drone-kit because based from observation the H Plus or the whole Yuneec H series fleets has insufficient cooling system.
The Phantom 1 had an excessive heat issue that affected the compass/gps module. Although it was not as bad as Yuneec, because majority has been flying without any problems, but to some that are affected with flyaways resorted to searching for a solution. Some addressed the problem with a liquid heatsink compound, which is moronic. The ultimate solution was just to drill lighting holes to the aluminum plate that DJI placed over the WiFi and Compass/GPS unit on the P1. DJI solved this over heating problems, but adding a better cooling solution. On the P3 and P4. DJI revised the inner electronic placement, when the MPro (mavic) the unit is built to perfection (I have two MPros that I still use today) and with the M2 DJI took it further and out did themselves ( which I also own) The Inspires 1 and 2 is built with craftsmanship (I also own these models). But enough of them, let's talk about Yuneec.
Yuneec has 2 vents grill vents on top , and two on the sides. There is a grill on the bottom towards the back, but they are none operational. I am planning to make them operational, and add to more vent towards the bottom front, and I am waiting for an opportunity to do a complete teardown, when my warranty expires. I don't know, why Yuneec did not opt to using heatsinks and proper ventilation, but Yuneec's mindset is also hard to gauge, when it come to the Half Cooked release of the H Plus.
Your module is great, but the design lacks the simplicity that folks or I myself is looking for.
1) A design that does not take away too much from the original.
2) Portability.
As far, as the cooling system goes, once the gps/compass is removed from its original location, using any kind of a module case that can house the unit will suffice just as long as it is ventilated, and when modding "there's 100 ways to skin a cat, pick one" Because it is not really hard to find a solution just as long as the first series questions of the mod. has been satisfied.
