Unstable

[Justin Wichman]

I am new here and novice operator (Phantom 3 Advance)

I am just wondering if any one is having issues with the new firmware. Before I downloaded the firmware I never had issues flying the Phantom ,. it was very stable and would hover by it self in windy days. I calibrated the compass and the IMU. I have 14 to 16 satellites signal and full power on everything.

I flown the phantom today and it seem like it switch modes on how unstable it was. I was able to bring it down from destroying it. I broke a prop...thank god...

any ideas?

If it flew well calibrate imu was not necessary after firmware update. As i always wrote check imu values and if it ain't broken don't repair! Anyway now you've only to redo imu calibration following the rules perfectly.

I recently did the IMU calibration cuz I noticed fly away issues starting and being unstable.

Did you calibrate compass near any metal objects?

Let me guess: 1.4fw?

Mine was very steady until the upgrade. When I finished the update, I took it outside and tested it. It was drifting very bad.

I let it cool and did an IMU calibration and then compass calibration, it was back to normal.

Some have said they did not need to but it sure made a difference in mine.
