Cold weather?

[sean7488]

Hello all

So I tried flying my Phantom 1 yesterday. It was about 28 degrees F outside. When I tried to increase altitude, it wouldn't go up past about 100 feet. Is this because of the cold or something with the Phantom? I never had this problem before and I never tried flying in the cold before so I'm not sure.

I've flown in cold weather all winter (temps as low as 17F) just fine. The only bad thing about cold weather flights I've noticed is shorter flight times.

You might check your limits in assistant software

Any ideas as to why my altitude wouldn't increase than?

sean7488, check that the "Max Height" is not set to 100 ft in the Phantom Assistant application.

Mine was set at the default, 2000m

The cold has nothing to do with it. I must have flown around 100+ meters up in -30°C (-22°F) and I've had no issues whatsoever.

Any other insights? I still haven't figured this out and it's not max height.

I don't have a clue, sorry. Is it still under warranty?
