that's funny b/c I have the mayday board b/c I don't want the worry of having to deploy the parachute manually :-)

what I meant by 'no notes on what was done' is that I can't tell what the problem was .. e.g. was the battery actually swollen, or was there some other issue which resulted in my not being able to pop the case closed again (e.g. broken post and misalignment of parts for example). So, all I was...

good news, controller just came back from RMA .. no charge. Approx time of 3 weeks including shipping both ways (to from CA from east coast via ground), which means it spent about a week or so in repair - not bad for warranty service. Looks to be a refurbished controller as it has some wear on...

Alex I'm sure Kyle will respond. Just FYI though when I installed my mayday I used an external battery, so the power for the mayday and chute does not come from the phantom itself (couldn't tell on yours whether the shop wired it to the phantom battery). Mine is a simple 9V lithium at the...

thanks .. saw the video .. was great and probably the best thing you could land on besides pillows. thanks for checking the data. I did order a 48" chute and will see if I can fit it into the mars 2. thanks for checking!

Sorry to hear it.. I have flown the mayday no problems.. Waiting to get my controller back from dji to get some more flights

What happened?

yes seems to be. approx every 1 second or 1.1 seconds (based on my flight logs) .. varies slightly and I would suppose is based on the frequency from which it can grab data off of the data bus, or maybe it's set to do that less frequently than earlier versions ..

I think "not fully compatible" is not really the right wording. It is "compatible" .. I have it on my P3P and use it, so it must be compatible with at least one P3P. There is one issue, which is on startup, sometimes it does not go past the red LED stage to the next stage. If you then power...

I don't think we have a representative sample in these threads. Only way I would think to have one would be to look at total # of flytrex monitored flights and the % with problems (or of flytrex P3's and # or % with problems).

that's too bad. did you change the adapter board too? changing that fixed my problem as above. I haven't done a ton of flights with it but it's been working consistently.

thanks, good idea. RMA approved.

thanks guys. took a look at that other post too. nothing rattling around inside and still won't go back together. I did peel off the large rubber bumper on bottom on that side and the screw looks securely in there. I didn't puncture the adhesive tape b/c if I do send for warranty I want DJI to...

that is a really good question .. I had just charged the controller before that happened and it felt like the controller was taking an unusually long time to charge. I would have to check other's pics, as I'm not sure whether a swollen battery would cause that. But, I bet you're right on -...

put the mars mini v2 on this weekend and very happy now to have something that will help minimize damage (to the drone or anything below).. am going to try to see if a 45" chute will fit in the tube (vs. the 36" that comes with it). did one flight with it on and didn't seem to have any balance...
