Hi,
Had phantom for a few months now. Have recently Changed gimbals as the Tarot one we bought was faulty and put the old one back on (XAerocraft). Have also put on a new carbon fibre landing gear. (they aren't straight down but at 30 deg splayed out)
The compass is attached to that so now at an angle.
Now the Phantom is out of control. I have disconnected all gimbals etc, Have checked compass settings on software and all fine and the Phantom calibrates first time every time doing the hor / ver dance.
It takes off and hovers fine and flys OK, then after30 seconds it starts to become more and more out of control, although under control of the transmitter, but requiring severe controller movements to keep the thing even still and eventually impossible to keep airborne and crashes. The same happens in Attitude or GPS mode.
I'm thinking a compass issue maybe? Would a faulty compass cause this? Must it be fixed so its always in 180 / 90 deg position like on the stock phantom legs?
Any ideas welcomed.
Many Thanks
John
