Hi
Got a Phantom 3 Standard, only last week, and was impressed by the technology. However I am getting so many error messages I am now wondering if something is wrong with it.
Today I took it out into the 'middle of nowhere' as I was getting regular 'electromagnetic interference' warnings in more urban areas. I noted that the area I was flying in today had a cell phone tower approximately 1 mile away, and multiple very tall metallic wind turbine structures just under 1/2 a mile away. I did not expect any of these structures to cause a problem (due to the distance.)
I took the Phantom to 100 feet vertically, and out of nowhere got a 'Lost RC Signal' error. The RTH function kicked in and it landed safely. I thought it was odd, so then tried flying it 100 foot horizontally, and the same thing happened. My antenna was slightly tilted as advised in the DJI instructions. I had a clear line of sight between me and the drone at all times.
Any ideas what is going on? I am using an iPad Mini 1 as a screen; yes I know it is not advised to use this iPad version, but I don't see how it can cause loss of RC signal?
Any ideas what is going on?
Thanks
