    gimbal not reconised in Phantom Assistant Software

    Hi, I would appreciate immensely if anyone can help. I had a crash today with the gimbal attached (H3 3D). It was not too badly damaged and I have it physically repaired.

    thanks for the response folks...it does still leave me a bit perplexed. I did read the article on your link jadebox, thanks for that. I do have prop-guards as it happens which I read tends to promote VRS. I'm still a bit confused on my initial question though. I did not read anywhere that...

    left throttle pull back - newbie question

    compass will just not calibrate...ahhhhhgh

    folks, Harry - thank you for your help. Got it working, but I do feel a bit foolish...was getting a single flashing green light for a while which I thought was an error - I had thought that I needed a solid green light (I know now that's just immediately after gps lock and then it goes to flashing)

    compass will just not calibrate...ahhhhhgh

    been trying to get this value below 300 for about an hour now...it does happen and I calibrate at that point but it won't stay below 300. Connecting five minutes later gives me same problem, over 300. I can get a single green flashing light only - no gps lock. I wonder is my compass faulty

    help required - can't power up

    thanks for this info 4wd...I tend to think myself it's to do with sticks calibration as I did have an 'error 29' reported which asked me to do a sticks calibration. I thought I did this correctly. I don't understand though what exactly you mean by 'calibrate the received signal'. How exactly do...
