Hi there, I need some help diagnosing a problem that i have with my phantom. I decided the other night that i did not like the plain white color of the phantom so decided to paint it , i taped up from the middle across the bottom, including the motors and covered up the vents and sprayed in matt black. I let it dry and took all the tape off and put the propellers back on and connected the compass and antennae and took it for a test spin. I put it on the ground and started the engines and gave it a bit of gas and it toppled over so i tried it again and the same situation. So i took it off the ground and held it in my hands and started it up and gave it some stick and it veered straight off to one side at speed into a tree and crashed.. I have had absolutely no problems with the chopper before so i brushed it off and took it back insode under a bright light and had a good look all over it and all the connectors seem fine, the motors seem fine, the propellers are slightly scratched up but everything seems fine. So i grabbed another charged battery and headed back outside again but this time when i put in the battery i did a compass calibration exercise and then started it up and held it in my hands and gave it some stick and it wanted to strongly pull away to one side and accelerated rapidly and then slowed abit and as i held it it seemed to wanting to make acceleration corrections. I am unsure wether one of my crashes had broken something or if i got some paint into somethign that shouldnt have been sprayed etc. I live in Sherman Oaks/ Van Nuys and seeing as i have changed the props and painted it the warranty is probably no good so was wondering where in Los Angeles can i take it to get someone to diagnose the problem ?? I need my Phantom back up on its feet so any help would be appreciated.
