Hi everyone,
My Phantom arrived a few weeks ago and have enjoyed many flights without any problems. At the weekend I updated to the new software and 3.10 firmware, following the instruction on the DJI website. I also downloaded the new default parameters and carried out a FULL calibration & compass calibration and all numbers are with the recommended tolerances.
We have had some bad weather (UK) so wasnt able to test fly untill today, little to no winds, sunny and warm. During the flight it fly off on me three times! only control was throttle and the third fly way resulted in my first ever crash. I kept it GPS mode at all times and only enabled home lock when it flew off on me, my thinking to this was that no matter what back stick would bring it back closer. I would only use the failsafe as last resort!
I now feel very nervous about taking it out again, I do trully beleive the new firmware is the cause.
Your comments and thoughts are very welcome!
I have uplaoded the full flight to youtube and be viewed here http://youtu.be/hUnl7SpH1nE
