Hi Everyone, New to the forum - Atlanta, GA
I got insanely lucky on Craigslist last week and picked up a Phantom 3 Adv with a broken yaw arm and ribbon cable for $265. That was the only issue with it. When I went to pick it up the guy insisted that we fly it, gave me the run through on basic operation, let me fly it and gave me a 2 week return policy if I didn't crash it. He was a really nice, genuine, and kind guy, ex military on top of that. If you're on here, THANK YOU
After figuring out what parts I needed, I've ordered them and am impatiently waiting. I've flown it twice so far for 15 min each, going up to a nerve racking 300ft, hovering, just getting used to the controls. (this isn't my first quad). I've registered with the FAA, I'm familiar with the guidelines, etc. Everything seems perfect!
So, as a new Phantom owner - what do I need to check out or watch for on a used bird? What would you do with it to make sure its in perfect working order?
Thanks,
Matt
