I looked around and saw similar posts.....About a week ago, I was flying my Phantom 2 vision+ around 300 feet in visual range, but after 15 minutes or so, the unit turned 45 degrees towarss the ground and I could hear it FULL SPEED sail down into the trees....as a 50 yr old, it was NOT fun...

Got lucky....just bodily injury climbing a tree to GPS indicated 81 feet to retrieve it lol. New news however......I did the Basic Calibration, advanced calibration, compass calibration and flew the quad to 30 feet up to test....just like the initial problem....flew fine for a while....then...

More relevant info....I DID NOT compass calibrate after my IMU calibration.....I got no warnings or indications of ANYTHING wrong....flew my Quad fine for 10 minutes....all of a sudden, it tilted 45 degrees towards ground and accelerated to 20-20 mph and smashed into trees. Lesson learned...I...

Just posting how I solved it.....I did take the IMU and gave it a smack or two but I'm not convinced that was the problem......if you follow the manual or the pop ups when you're calibrating, you may fail, as I did. Assume the machine is all back together....i did the basic calibration....then...

I agree. Its also was only possible for me to get the calibration done if I reset the BTU settings from the advanced tab and not the basic calibration tab...ALSO...it says to reboot the MC....I COULD NOT do an advanced calibration if I shut off and restarted my quad...i had to go right into...

Anyone still following this post....I can confirm that comms with the controller can be limited when flying directly overhead. I get about 400 feet before a return home. Today, I flew about 300-500 feet downrange, and performed the same height test and made it to 675 feet and was limited cuz i...

Ever get the solution for this problem?...I am having the EXACT same problem...red, yellow green blinking.....says i can do basic calibration but advanced gets to about 80% and stops....interestingly too, does the error window that pops up say "Basic Calibration error"?...and doing a basic...

I am having the EXACT same problem...red, yellow green blinking.....says i can do basic calibration but advanced gets to about 80% and stops....interestingly too, does the error window that pops up say "Basic Calibration error"?

Same problem...BTU cleared....advanced calibration NEVER stops
