Hi all,
I've lurked here for a while but have only just setup an account. Finding a lot of useful advice to keep the quad safe & operating to its full potential.
Ive got the V2.0 Phantom 2 with H3-3D gimbal!
Right, so I have completed 4 flights now, and was about to go out for my 5th when I did the usual pre-flight startup followed by the CSC command. At which point I noticed 1 prop would not spin (it only moved a bit each way). I didn't try and power up and instead aborted any takeoff. It smelt like that motor had burned out. I took the quad back to the dealer and they have since replaced the ESC under warranty. I guess I must have smelt this rather than the motor.
Fast Forward to this evening when I decided to start it up and check things over. I was immediately confronted to the normal startup noise plus the 4 beeps (it did not originally do the 4 beeps). I've read around this subject a lot and it appears the hardware has been replaced with the older version. Do others agree with this and if so, is it worth taking it back to the dealer saying they have downgraded by quad!
Thanks for reading, any advice appreciated.
