    Very very frustrating problem

    Well, I down loaded an old assistant version with 4.02 on in and used it to change the software on the quad. That cured the problem. Flies just fine at the club field. Since that was the only change I made I can only conclude that the 4.06 software was the problem. No more "upgrades" for me...

    A very basic question

    Thanks for all the responses. I made the decision to try to rollback the software rather than fly without GPS. I downloaded an old assistant version with 4.02 firmware on it. The quad accepted it. I flew the quad at home and it flew just fine, then I took it to the club field and it flew...

    Darn! Had my hopes up!

    A very basic question

    I recently upgraded the firmware to 4.06 and I suspect that it is now geofenced. It refuses to fly at the RC field but flies just great at my house. The club field is about 3 miles from a local airport. We have a letter of understanding from the airport manager so we can legally fly there. I...

    Erised, you did this on a P1?

    A very basic question

    My goal here is to fly my P1/FC40 without GPS. I don't want it to know where it is. I want to make sure I have all this right: I can start it in ATTI and stay that way through the flight. I won't switch to GPS at all during the flight or warm up. If it loses transmitter communication it will...

    I have no idea how to go back to an earlier version. I'd do it in a heartbeat. I will recheck the parameters as you suggest.

    Next time at the field I plan on running without GPS so it won't know where it is. Just a shot in the dark....

    That's all correct. Goes to fast red flashes. BTW, thank you for your replies.

    Very very frustrating problem

    It starts and boots up just fine. Acquires enough satellites, etc. When I lift off it starts blinking red right away and self-lands. The batteries check out fine and one of them is brand new. 3s-2200 30C or better. All this disappears and it flies fine at home. I always calibrate the...

    It flies really good at home. On the same batteries that it wouldn't fly on at the RC field. Like I said.....frustrating.

    The problem popped up about the same time as the upgrade, but I'm not really sure.

    Very very frustrating problem

    I have a Phantom1/FC40. I bought it used and it flew fine. I keep the software updated, but now it gets the flashing red light as soon as I take off. The book says it is low battery or bad calibration. But I tried 3 different batteries and calibrated it many times. Opened it up and checked all...
