I've only just got my old P1 back out- it's been some time, so my memory is a bit dull on the subject. But I do remember this issue coming up a lot back in the day. As suggested previously, the starting point is the motors. These got damaged by the removal of prop guards but the same longer...

Monte55- another name I remember from the early P1 days! Yes- I'm talking about the single status led- that changed from slow greens, to fast reds, and back to slow greens. And then I took no chances and landed ASAP.

Thanks guys- guess I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a new battery, given that the present one is some 7 years old! Though I might be able to squeeze a few flights- the assistant is showing current voltage of 12.3 and the 1st level protection is set at 11.2.

It's been some while since I looked in here. But I dug out my old P1. Everything fired up OK- and it flew as good as the day I bought it. I had a full set of greens and 'home lock' had confirmed. Then [in flight] I got fast reds for a moment or two. The craft flew normally though and the LEDs...

I think that the DJI F350 will be hard to find- and the knock off copies are poor. In your shoes I would consider the F450 kit and look around for one complete with a Naza v2 and GPS. That way you've got most of what you need when you decide to upgrade to an F550!

Might be worth posting in "other multi- rotor" section, failing that it's RC Group for specialised stuff like this

The 'Daily Star' is a UK publication aimed at people with, shall we say, unusual tendencies. None of their stories are based on fact. That said- if any of their readership were to be let loose with a camera, let alone a UAV, the footage would be questionable to say the least.

I've never seen that option. Anyway, to solve your problem, give it full throttle to launch it clear of the ground- then back off when above 10 ft.

The assistant only sees the onboard receiver. The receiver, in turn, talks to your transmitter. Without knowing what receiver you have- it is hard to comment. Have you confirmed that the TX is bound to the Rx. I would guess that the mode should be S-bus or D-bus

Assuming the motors turn freely, I would guess at the speed controllers. Do all the ESC Leds light up? You may have to try swapping out known good motors.

You need a Phantom spare part No. 31 Phantom 1 Receiver (Dual Antenna) Part 31 – Dronefly

Yes- just check with the seller that it is a 2.4Ghz.

I stand to be corrected- but I don't think a P2 Naza can be set up to control a hex. (6 motors) You need a Naza M v2 (from a late P1 or an FC40) The Naza assistant is not interested which transmitter you have- it only sees the receiver that you have got connected.

Beats me why anyone would deliberately over-current a lipo. Just to make a video clip?!

Just a couple of steps to make the RFv16 easier to use when not using data. Text > goff# < This causes the tracker to immediately send GPS coordinates (and turns off default data upload setting) Then text > tim,1# < This prevents the tracker from going to sleep, requiring multiple texts to...
