I have just learnt an expensive mistake - P3adv.
I fitted a set of alloy motor mount protectors but found that the original screws were now too short.
So I used a 'guesstimate' and purchased longer ones.
Result; they screwed too far in and into the motors.
An "ESC status error" was displayed...
Thanks Brockrock, will try.
Thanks With the Birds, yes................... I had installed prop-guards before the last flight. I now wonder if it was the longer screws?
I have since removed the guards and replaced the original screws. No change though, I am still getting the ESC status warning...
Thanks Neon Euc, I have reinstalled the latest firmware- no success, then uninstalled it and reinstalled the previous version - no success, then reinstalled the latest version again - no success.

Thank you alokbhargava,
Motors don't run at all.
All is well in the pre-flight mode but as soon as I try to start, it comes up with the message;
"ESC status error. Restart aircraft. Contact DJI support if this persists after restart".
The aircraft has never crashed, has been well looked...
I have an ESC error that has just popped up and I can't fly. The craft has had a comfortable life, no damage or hard landings etc, is only 10 months old and I have upgraded the firmware. The only solution seems to be to return it to DJI for repair. Before I do I was wondering if anyone has any...
Hi Reed L.
I note that you have 'cup-covers' on each motor.
Is this to offer protection from damage, dust and thread damage?
Are these commercially available or have you adapted them yourself?
Thanks,
Pete.
I note, looking through threads and watching instructional videos, that there is a great emphasis on battery safety, particularly the chance of ignition and risk of fire danger.
I normally store my batteries in the drone carry case which provides no fire-safety at all.
Do others do the same or...
Thank you Meta4.
I hope that you are correct and the world really is as perfect as we would like.
2 questions:
1/ Is there a list available to the flying public of universal customs/flight allowances for all countries available?
2/ If carrying a drone onto a commercial aircraft does it go...
The thought of travelling with my drone Internationally and being able to take aerial video/photo footage of my travels seems exciting, but I wonder about the risk of having the drone taken off me at airport security/customs around the world.
Do some countries have restrictions or is this...

Thanks guys for your replies.
I value your feedback.

DO NOT, twist...
Thanks guys for your input.
I've downloaded/printed a copy of the users manual so I am now happily browsing through and learning.
This is a great forum.
Pete.
I was wondering if a more detailed operators manual was available for the Phantom 3 Adv ?
I have a couple of basic "leaflet" type instruction pamphlets but would like a more in-depth instruction book.
Is there such a beast available and where can I hunt it down?
Pete.
