    Balance Charger flashing odd sequence of lights - SOLVED

    Re: Balance Charger flashing odd sequence of lights So I connected just the TX60 connector and the light on the charge still blinks green for ready. When I unplug the TX60 and plug in just the balance cable, the led pattern begins. So you're saying that means the solder connections in the...

    Balance Charger flashing odd sequence of lights - SOLVED

    Re: Balance Charger flashing odd sequence of lights So that sequence of lights is just the balancing sequence? I'll switch the order of connection and let a battery sit on the charger today with this sequence of lights and see where it goes. Thanks Lav.

    Hi everyone, I was charging my three Phantom-branded batteries on my BC20-4 Balance charger today. The first two charged no problem. When I plugged the third battery in to the charger, connecting first the red/black leads, then the 3S port, then the power cord, the LEDs started a different...

    Bad motor? Clicking and prop only turns one way — SOLVED

    Re: Bad motor? Clicking and prop only turns one direction Solved. It wasn't a clip but a tiny screw, the size that hold the circuit board down. No idea where the screw came from as there are no screws missing. Ugh.

    Zenmuse tilt angles reversed? - SOLVED

    Hello, I've read the other posts and this problem seems different than others who are having tilt problems. I installed the Zenmuse H3-2D Gimbal with the new circuit board in the Phantom, and the little lever that comes with the board to control the tilt angle on the transmitter. I followed...

    Problem with new Phantom

    Yes, I've seen this when I first went through the manual prior to my first flight. However, the only direction that starts the motors is both down and left. None of the other combinations start the motor...

    Bad motor? Clicking and prop only turns one way — SOLVED

    I have what I suspect is a bad motor, but it started at the tail end of an easy 5 minute flight. No crash, was doing a simple hover, and started hearing a higher pitch from the Phantom. When I brought it down lower, I could hear a rapid clicking sound. Just as it landed and the props slowed...
