Ive been an avid reader of the forums before the purchase of the Phantom 2 and h3 3d gimbal. I appreciate all the advice over the last couple of months. As I read, I thought I was immune to the quirks of all the other phantom owners until tonight..... please look at the video to see how my beloved P2 fell to the ground tonight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9rqjA2 ... e=youtu.be
Notes;
1 I was flying with the helipal extended legs.
2) I was flying the helipal carbon fiber blades, (I RARELY FLY WITH THESE PROPS!, WINDS WERE CALM, SO I SAID, HEY ..... WHY NOT)
3) Winds were really calm today.... not the usual.....
4) Although I have learned to fly pretty aggressive these days, I was taking it easy, looking for clean shots...
5) GPS and ATT in the upright position as always.
6) GPS calibration was done like almost every time...
Unlike other forums, my P2 never dropped from the sky without full power. It did have some prop power, but obviously not enough...

At about 30:00 I discover I cannot gain elevation..... at 55:00 my P2 looses all control and heads down at a rate that (obviously) outweighs the latest settings.... eventually crashing..(my 1st yet).
Any thoughts?
