Hello All.
Just finished my first flight. A few things felt a little out of wack. was wondering if i could get some insight on some problems.
First thing i did was my First flight check list.
Charged Battery and Controller
downloaded Firmware to SD card
updated firmware on phantom and controller
calibrated the IMU
calibrated the Gimbal
calibrated the RC sticks
charged battery to full again
after i was finished with setup i took it into the backyard for a first take off
I started it up and calibrated the compass
checked to make sure i had good signal and then took off.
first time up it worked fine.
had it up for about 2 mins checked all the sticks to see if everything was good then i landed.
after that i took it up again and thats when it was getting funky.
first thing i did was got a little Altitude (about 40 feet)
after i let go of the sticks the copter kept rising up (not fast but still up)
i landed it again shut it down and restarted. didnt happen again so ok???
next thing was the video feed to the phone. how much lag is there suppose to be?
i had about a 2 - 3 sec delay on the downlink. is that normal? also very pixelated.
next thing i noticed was the controller getting uncomfortably warm. is this normal?
once i landed the copter i checked the copter it was very hot to the touch. is this normal?
please let me know if this is normal for this copter.
