I too have the same issue. (also after a time with the Drone in the closet. My issue was the only change made since it last flew successfully was the app was updated as my phone was set to auto update. So what I plan to do this week is: 1. update all the firmware and see if that fixes the...

Anyone keen to meet up, fly and trade war stories. Do most of my JHB flying at Emmerentia.

Re: Connection Lost at 430 feet? Therefore it begs the question if the limit was changed. If not :) `could that not be the issue??

resolve tipping over? *chuckle* I hand catch now. Simple task as the quad hovers as steady as a brick and I am not in the mood to have to open the bird again for a while :)

Yup RDCF550, the ESC was the cause of the issue. Replaced and am now a happy flyer once again. Thanks :)

Brave footage as well for first times out :) But yeah - some stunning scenery. Kinda what makes this "toy" a whole load more fun!

Had the same issue as you with the tip over and one Motor not very happy. My issue was the ESC and not the motor. So remember that if you decide on a fix.

Yup The jewellery type screw drivers just cannot generate the torque that will undo them. Thanks for the tip :)

Mine did the identical thing. Rear left Motor "stuttered" It was tracked down to the ESC. Replaced it and it all worked fine! (Swapping out all the motors was my fault :) ) You have to solder when you replace the ESC - good luck on that. My skills require a whole lot of work, but it all...

Nice new Phantom 2+ V3 as a xmas gift saw me take the quad out for its maiden flight. It flew perfectly from the word go but on landing tipped over and left me with 10 mins flight time and a stuttering motor. Given the fact that I was far away from any spares shop, I managed to get a friend to...

Hi there. A newbie to quad copter flying, thanks to a thoughtful xmas gift from my SO. First flight out lasted around 15 minutes, took some wonderful video footage and pictures, landed and tipped the quad over. Rear left prop came to a sudden halt and lo and behold the prop now stutters as it...
