    Charging Phantom batteries

    simply put if the green light still flashes the balance plug on the side isnt plugged in right. Check the pins on the charger and the inside hioles on the connector.

    Anyone using the SkyRC T6755 charger?

    I was thinking of using this charger with a balancer board to charge multiple batteries at the same time. 55 watts, 7 amps. I have stock batteries right now so I really can't charge them over 2.2 amps anyhow. Anyone has this charger, how is it?

    gain adjusment for vision props on FC40???

    Getting new DJI vision props? - Gains should be LOWERED from the ones you have. - Ideally you should balance them. - Losing control on descent, it whobbles on descent or flips over and crashes, it is Vortex ring state and these props will worsen the effect (it will accetnuate it) In a very...

    Taking off on the move

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDvhO0nKn00 Try it, it is easy. Only thing I would add here is have the remote strapped around your neck so starting and killing the motors is much easier. Of course this also removes any possibility of damage while landing on ground. PS: I wouldn't do these...

    Hard to control

    To answer your question, stick to dji props. Get the vision props. If you can, try to balance them. They are great props. Aftermarket is hit and miss, missing most of the time. I would never put aftermarket props on mine.

    Hard to control

    Ok. Some questions. What phantom do you own? Have you added anything to the bird, or is it bone stock? Stock or aftermarket props? On takeoff, you have flashing green only? Did you wait for the two green led bursts before liftoff? Did you balance your props? Did you ever change the gains in...

    Toilet Bowl Effect (TBE) on a Phantom 1

    Actually this fix does not work on the phantom 2 because it's custom firmware should automatically compensate for the declination and does not. It's a bug. There is a rather long and technical post about this and pilots here are working with dji to fix it. This in fact work very well on the...

    New to Phantoms - Compass worries.

    Install the assistant software and plug it in. Scroll trhough the tabs and look at the compass values. Ideals are between -350 and 350 for each and around 1600 or so for MOD. Anything near these numbers is fine too.

    Toilet Bowl Effect (TBE) on a Phantom 1

    I live near Ottawa and I already wrote a topic on this subject. Turn your compass on the leg about 15 degrees COUNTER clockwise on the leg. It will hold on just fine. Do a compass claibration. Lift it, and it will be steady has a rock.

    Best 9 inch props for Phantom 1?

    I don't want to sound blunt, but this question has been asked a thousand times. The reason many seasoned members here don't even bother replying anymore is that it's been asnwered repeatidly. The search function can provide your answer. And yes the P2 vision props are the best but not the...

    Not an FC40-A Bebop "new product" questionable specs

    I had a drone 2.0. This bebop drone has the same approx. weight and size. I bought mine to see if quadcopters interest me. This didn't last 2 weeks. I saw the potential of the quads, but it was VERY clear to me this was like flying a kite. I couldn't lift it 75 feet off the ground without it...

    5.8 Tx - CE and FCC...

    One of the first things I did with my FC40 was to change the 5.8GHZ TX from CE to FCC by turning the knob on the transmitter. When I did this I got 2 beeps when powering I on. This set the distance from 300 to 500 meters... So I thought.... When plugging in the TX with the RC assistant...
