Got my first RC drone for Christmas and have been having problems with it on most flights. Thought I had a defective Phantom but finally realized the problem. I wasn't doing the compass calibration dance!
The literature that comes with these things is less than thorough IMO so I went online and watched as many instructional videos as I could. I found them VERY helpful. Anyway, even though only one video mentioned the compass dance, I figured I'd give it a try and that seems to have fixed my flight control problems! Just got back from flying it around my property with no problems at all!
I was getting bummed with the erratic flight performance and subsequent crashes. Now I'm having MUCH more fun!! :mrgreen:
