Phantom wanted to fly away

[drewgss]

Hey guys,
I am new at this, so I am looking for help,
I have a Phantom 2 with GoPro 3 black 3d gimbal.
I ran a test flight and the Phantom worked great
the next day I added a FPV Kit

"DJI Phantom 2 Advance FPV Kit for HERO 3 (7" LCD, 5.8 Ghz, 1300ft/400m Range)"
http://www.acesdeals.biz/apps/webstore/ ... ow/4551210

powered it up was able to view thru the camera fine and all LEDs were green.

I went back the next day, calibrated the Phantom and tried to fly and film.
Again LEDs green but the Phantom wanted to fly away so I went thru the calibration process 6 more time and it still wanted to fly away.

I removed the FPV transmitter and set the Phantom back to how it was setup on the test day
went thru the calibration process 4 more time but it still wants to fly away

I hooked it up to the PHANTOM 2 ASSISTANT SOFTWARE V3.0
and everything looks good to me (but I am new to this)

I am going to upgrade to @Phantom 2 Main Controller Firmware* v3.04 - from v3.02 later today

Thanks in advance

Can you be a little more specific with what you mean when you say "wanted to fly away". How were you getting it to come back if it wanted to fly away?

My son is the pilot (thank you call of duty and 7 years of training)
At take off he it starts to drift upward he pins the stick to bring it down
it then starts down drifts up and down and so far I have been able to grab it out of the air.


Here is the link to the first test flight where it really flew and filmed beyond my expectations

Could need the sticks calibrating, first on the controller in RC then connected to the craft in Phantom Assistant.
Also the gains should be set to default, there's a button to click on the assistant software.

I will try that an post the out come

I now have updated to to 3.00.4

I calibrated the the RC first and then again thur the Phantom assistant
still the same thing

Still no answer

Which calibration are you actually doing? Try doing an advanced IMU calibration first then a compass calibration (aka; Compass dance) That looked like compass drift - when you do advanced calibration, check compass #s they should be between 1200-1800
