    Why do people update firmware?

    I just had my controller replaced under warranty and the da** wouldn't even connect until I updated the controller firmware and then it also required a firmware update on the P3 Pro. Couldn't figure out a way around it if I wanted to get back in the air!

    I was at an odd angle and I guess my depth perception was off. It looked like I had plenty of room to stop but I waited too long. Remember, I'm a big time newbie, 2nd flight

    Phantom 3 Standard comes tomorrow! How to not crash on day 1...
