Fortunately, it's a miserable day here in NM. Rain, some wind. I'm definitely not flying today. But I digress - sorry.Just wondering how many people have not had any issues with there drones? I know this is a forum so people with problems usually come on to find answers but I was wondering are there that many problems with the phantoms? I have a p3a and love it and haven't had any issues. No cracks, no RTH problems, no firmware problems, always flies great. It seams all I ever here is bad stuff. Am I just lucky? Or are most people not having those issues?
I have carbon fiber props AND I fly routinely in cold weather. No cracks on two bodies. I fly it like a camera, not my Hubsan X-4 so I'm not stressing the airframe as much as some. But there were plenty of posts with cracks from people who (at least claim) they were flying pretty cautiously.No problems here. I always keep up to date on firmware updates and my p3p flies with out any problems. I have always thought that people with stress cracks in the arms of phantom could be caused by people using carbon fiber props,and also flying in very cold weather could make the plastic more brittle. The reason why I say this is because I think carbon fiber props and flying in cold weather that maybe those props cause too much torque on the arms of the phantom. Just a theory, don't know if that's really your problem just my own opinion. what do u guys think?

So what do you think it is that causes cracks in the arms of the phantoms?is it just bad manufacturing or quality control from DJI or is it people flying way to aggressively? I'm with you DJI not giving us enough information when problems arise. I think ultimately it's something that's going to be a big problem for DJI..I have carbon fiber props AND I fly routinely in cold weather. No cracks on two bodies.

So we have a bunch of issues that were problematic - cracks, firmware that favored battery life over drone safety (how does that quite work, DJI) and a couple of others. The sad part is that DJI has been pretty closed lip. Kinda like their 'mentor', Apple.
Many of us here would be much happier if DJI talked a bit more in detail about what is going on. Since they don't the next best thing is to query a reasonable subset of users - which is what a forum tries to be. There will be successes and failures with this primitive form of reverse engineering. If you are prone to Sturm Und Drang, it's probably best to stay off the Internet entirely and just go for nice, quiet walks with your hamster.
what, hahahahaha what are you talking about [emoji23]That's no proof of correlation between the two facts.

Coincidence maybe? Ihave been flying with this alert for while, I know I have to update but it didn't cause any trouble.Just got mine out of the box yesterday, charged up the RC and the batteries and went into flight sim. Had a few flights in there without a problem until out of the blue I get a "firmware update required" and an RC signal lost msg with flashing yellow lights on the aircraft as well as within the app under status. How could it work so well for a few flights in FS and suddenly give me a msg that I need a firmware update which I can't do because my RC signal is always lost in the status of the app...HELP!

This happened to me this morning, too. The latest release requires that both the RC and the Phantom's firmware be updated. They are separate operations. You probably updated your RC from the app, which is correct. Next, the firmware doesn't need the RC or the app. Go to dji.com and get the appropriate ZIP file and put the .bin file into the root directory of your SD card. Insert the card into the Phantom and turn it on. The full instructions are available in many places on this forum and dji.com. Bottom line: on my P3P, it's not done until the little light on the camera (not the lights on the arms) stays solid green!!!! The big lights do lots of different things during a firmware update. Don't be fooled. Even the beeping sound can be confusing sometimes. Don't interrupt it. Make sure it's really done. Everything should be back to normal after the update.Just got mine out of the box yesterday, charged up the RC and the batteries and went into flight sim.
