Now I have several batteries I can finally do a bit more proper flying! I am still not totally sure of the LED lights. For example after you first connect the battery I am sure I am getting two green lights followed by one red and it repeats this until it goes to a steady green light. Or yellow in ATTI mode. Also at that point I get a brief rapid green flashing as well. Is the rapid green flashing at that point setting the home return point? As from what I can see from the instructions it seems to be you should get a rapid green flashing soon after you start the motors. But although I leave the props idling for a good 15/20 secs before take off I only get the regular steady green flashing- no rapid flashing at that point. Does that mean the home return has not been set? Or do you need to activate the home return in the software?
Touchwood once in the air everything so far performs as expected. Finding the orientation after it travels some distance is a bit of a challenge! Getting older with less than perfect eyesight not helping!! But let it hover and them slowly nudge the controls to see which direction it seems to want to go to. Does using IOC help or hinder beginners? As it is not active by default I guess it is more challenging- though in theory I would have thought it would make flying easier?
Still a scary experience!!
