I did both upgrades; software and firmware. When doing the advanced calibration I also got the "too hot" message. I unplugged for 10 minutes and no problem after that. I also noticed the OIC issue. I calibrated the transmitter and the OIC was enabled after I ticked the box. Flew around for a...

Hi all, I wanted to write this little post just to say how impressed I am with the resilience of the Phantom. I Was flying around the lake last weekend filming some geese and seagulls and decided to bank around a pier of rocks. Before I could see where I was headed I clipped the corner of a rock...

ok.. thanks for the replies!

I have a question... can you plug the above battery directly to the FatShark TX or do you have to go through the power filter? The battery has the 3 prong balance charger lead and also a 2 prong power (red and black wire). Thanks, Eric

Ha!! No worries.. I landed with nothing more than bug guts on my Phantom.. anything flying seems to gravitate to the sound of the props..

Just playing around.. having some fun early in the morning before all the BBQer's show up.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cULUgCZjyYA

Thanks for the reply Jumanoc, I just checked that setting and it is already set to manual? The GoPro never actually turned off. I am wondering if I got some interference or something? I will have to give it another test flight.

I am happy to report that my fail-safe works great!! took it up tonight to see if I could catch some footage of fireworks. shot it straight up and realized after a while i had no control of it any more. came back down within 10 feet of where it left. PHEW!!!! :D

Interesting!! you wonder id removing the plastic covering would improve the range at all?

:lol: you're probably right!!! too funny!

Re: Question to anyone who has lost a prop... which one was I lost one.. luckily it was a low flight so no damage to anything. Since then I have put a drop of blue thread-lock on each prop but I still give the fasteners a twist to ensure they did not come loose before every extended fligh.

Good deal with the TX adapter!!! I just got the regular bats.. going to make my own adapter

Some of the stores in Canada still have some batteries!!! www.multirotorheli.ca
