Still running. But I have not had the time to fly as much as I used to fly. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

http://www.bocabearings.com/bearing-inv ... tning-lube Is a good quality high speed oil. Phantom bearings have a plastic race cover, but it is not completely sealed. It will accept drops of oil.

Bad motor resulting in prop spin off right here! Fell like a tumbling rock. The most "intelligent" landing protocol - straight down ;)

Monte55's statement is correct. CL is established on start up. The first set of rapid green flashing LEDs is CL heading being set. The second set of rapid green LEDs is the HL being set in the Phantom. Ideally DJI would program the CL to set when the S2 is flipped to CL...but we will have to...

Call it ****, but I ALWAYS start phantom facing due North, so I never have to guess in flight.

Agreed No17RW. Five quick flips from off-cl and a new course lock is set. That is if you have good motor skills and can make the movement fast enough and precise enough to not accidently overthrow to hl on one of the five ;) I have found it easier to go from off-hl and reset both the cl and hl...

They come with two battery covers. One has four magnets, to slap it on your kids car ;)

Send it back. Unless you want to replace an ESC or a motor, possibly both.

That is really weird. I have no suggestions other than getting with a friend to test on another monitor or replace monitor.

Is he associating going from snow to black screen as turning off? Is it possible that black screen is confirming tx is turned on sending signal to Rx, but just no video or data is being sent to tx to go out the rx? Check connections from iosd to tx. Confirm the Rx (monitor) is staying on (led...

Sure hope this is just a bad battery issue and not a V2.0 issue wrecking batteries. I was considering a V2.0 as a Christmas present to myself. :)

Most likely bearing friction. Any noticable pitch/audible changes? Do you use oil? How many flights or hours on those motors? I have not noticed any increased heat changes by switching to 9450's but it stands to reason that the motors might be taxed a little more during vigorous flights because...

Out of curiosity are you powering off and powering the phantom back up after your compass calibration to let the IMU do its initialization? Also, are you powering it up on a fairly level open grassy (non-ferrous) area? Ie: not powering up and then setting it on the ground, and not placing it on...

We unfortunately are their beta testers, technical support, customer support and sales associates. All for free, that makes them smart and us a bunch of dumb a$$3$. Glad to hear its up and running ;)

Notice mine has H3-3D IMU and yours does not.
