Warm up time

[Maveriksam]

My Phantom seems to take a very long time to warm up. Approx. 1 to 1.30mins.

I was just wondering how long other peoples phantoms took to warm up. I presume the temp outside plays a big part in the warming up but when the Phantom was new I'm sure it warmed up a lot quicker.

Fairly normal.. If its cold out it can take longer.

I flew mine last night after the temperature finally dropped below 100 here... it still took over 3 minutes to "warm up" so its hard to say how much of an effect there is.

Interesting. I wondered when I read that. Thanks for clarifying.

If you put it in the microwave for 10 seconds it will start straight away or never again only joking so dont anyone go sticking it in the microwave your startup time seems normal.

On a second battery it will not need any warmup time and be ready to go again straight away if you do a quick turnaround, just will need a few seconds for gps lock, first flight is always pretty slow to warm up.
