    Phantom Tipping

    "ChrisMohrSr"]If I take off too slowly my Phantom has a tendency to tip forward a bit. Why is that? Take off in Atti mode & give it heaps, if you have the centered throttle, max it out then let the stick go once off the ground, flick to gps mode. Works for me

    Toliet Bowl GPS hover fix, fixed mine, now rock steady

    When you have found out how far east or west you need to go, then loosen your compass, and turn it around so it will match the magnetic declination angle. Denodan, The compass looks as it is shaped to fit on the leg only one way? How did you overcome this? Cheers

    She's gone... Yep, another fly away. (UPDATE: FOUND!!)

    I'm almost 95% certain this was due to the compass. The evening before I had swapped out the landing skids for some carbon fiber ones and "Maikels" landing kit. The compass had to be refitted and even though I did an IMU advanced setup, I suspect it wasn't enough. I should have done a compass...

    Please Help With Phantom Start Up

    G'day E, Unfortunately I'm one of the few Aussies that don't drink or Facebook, but well done on getting my country-man flying. Was it that Receiver PPM trick or gremlins?

    Hey hwarolin, after the update just check that the receiver setting hasn't switched to d-bus or other it should be PPM as mentioned in a few posts now, an easy check although after a crash may be completely diff. problem. Cheers
