Hello, After extensive fiddling around and some helpful advice from this forum, we have fixed the toilet bowl effect, but are now left with a Vision 2 that still drifts quite a bit while hovering. Also, it will not fly in a straight line but seems to drift to the right, and a bit sideways. The...

Thanks. We are really starting to appreciate how critical the compass is. All of it's numbers look good, and we have rechecked the positioning. Maybe we should just get a compass as you suggest - they are not too expensive. Cheers, fhsav

Yes, we have re-calibrated the compass many times. All the parameters on the computer are within spec, and we get correct lights on the Phantom 2. Flying in Atti Mode reduces the circular pattern, but it still drifts quite a bit. Thanks

Hello, We are having continued chronic problems with our Phantom 2. The unit worked great for the first six flights, but now is uncontrollable. Basically, in GPS mode when hovering, the Phantom 2 starts to fly in an ever-widening circle, picking up speed as it goes. This is without any input...

We've actually made some progress. After "nose down" calibration, the lights flash yellow, and then green AFTER GPS lock has been achieved. It is too cold to fly right now (5 F) but we are looking forward to more testing as soon as it warms up a bit. We are also gaining an appreciation for...

Thanks for your input. Just to be clear, we are using a Phantom 2 Vision. We are trying to find out exactly what color the LEDS should be after the "nose down" rotation. When we place the unit in calibration mode (gps/atti switch) we get a solid yellow. After horizontal calibration we get...

We are looking for clarification about proper compass calibration. When we attempt calibration, we get a solid green LED indication for horizontal rotation, but a yellow flashing indication for the "nose down" rotation. We have never been able to get a green LED indication after the "nose...

Thanks for the reply. We've been careful to make sure the switch is in the forward "GPS" mode.

Hello, We had great early experiences with our P2V, but after six flights or so we are having a real problem with stability and control. We are concentrating our efforts on the compass calibration. After some conflicting info from the dealer, can someone please tell us what should the LED...
