I just got a Dj Phantom 1.1.1 and while reading up on the led lights, imu calibration, compass calibration, etc., it's hard not to come across all of the horror stories. I guess my question is are there people who have owned this for at least 6 months to a year that have not had a flyaway or some sort of situation where you lost control of the phantom?
My understanding is that if you lose control or it starts to fly away, you switch to atti mode, if that doesnt work switch to manual mode (i configured the 3 switch down to be manual mode), and lastly if that doesn't work to turn off your transmitter.
I know one guy who had a flyaway in a big open field, after he let the IMU warm up, he did a compass calibration with over 6 sats, made sure there were several green quick flashes for home lock, and nothing he did helped him. Scares the crap out of me!
