Thanks Rod, I thought it was considered a Phantom 1. 330 whatever the 330 stands for. I tried to do more research and the body looks same size. 350 mm. Very similar except for battery compartment. I forgot to mention the P1 does not have a working battery anymore. And my friend could not find a...

I have a friend who wants to give me a working 330. I have a P3 standard. Are there any interchangeable parts? Battery? Controller? Motors? Anything? I can't tell from pictures he has sent. Don't want to waste shipping to find out. Thanks Bill

About 4 years ago, I rescued my P3 standard battery using an old HeathKit Variable Power Supply. I put one VDC into it for several hours. WATCH the POLARITY! I monitor with a Volt meter. I slowly increase the voltage and after it reaches about 5-6 volts (I don't recall the actual readings...

Chris, Thank you. I live on 3,3 acres so I am flying at home so far. Out in the county. Good place to get the feel of it. Yeah, The banked turns at high speed surprised me. I had it up about 200 feet and could not believe what I was seeing. Sport more may be too fast for me haha. Have fun!

Thank You! Appreciate it. Bill

Mine does the exact same thing. When I have left the left joystick in the full down position after motor turn off. It stays in the down locked position. Mine beeps and flashes a warning. I simply release it to the center position. And everything is AOK.

Thanks all. I will dispose it. I do live in the boondocks. Maybe watch it burn and video it from above with my PS3:cool: FIRE IN THE HOLE!

Thanks, Appreciate that info.

The battery in the center of the two pictures is the one I am concerned about. The other two small sides of this battery are not bulging. It is not a DJI battery as you can tell. Not very old not very many hours or recharges on it. Never been dropped. By me anyway :pI have never had a battery...

Modern day consumer electronics is pretty resistant to water. But not salt water. I worked for several telecom companies. Whenever we had electronic equipment involved in a flood. And one flood in particular involved a restaurant bathroom.....ughhh. We simply took the equipment outside and...
