I'm curious why some are crashing their Phantoms other than an equipment failure. What's your story.? You may help others from making the same mistake.

That is totally not normal. It should rotate/yaw and stay in place.
That reminds me of about May 5th, first flight. Keep the back towards you at first. I just wanted the camera to pick up the yard. Cedar tree jumped right out in front of quad. Just green stuff on rotor, no damage. About three weeks later in yard did not think I was that far east in driveway. Puff of wind, pine tree. Chip out of silver rotor and tip out of black. The other two are still on quad today. Only two times I have crashed into something. (currently knocking on head(wood)) With November, December, and January gone and no flights, I wait for spring.R4boat said:Yep did the same thing as Jason..crashed into the side of the house, went left should have gone right duh. It was drifting towards the house facing me and I moved the stick too quick the wrong way! No real damage than two props. So now it is slow moves ...and no flying around the outside of the house either.

I'll check it all out tonight.
It's certainly inconvenient having it set off sideways as it yaws, because I can't navigate it into any tight areas where I can't reverse back out, as I can't risk turning it in any small areas.

Do P2 owners have to do a compass calibration like we do with the FC40?
Underground power lines have goofed me up really bad in the past.
Now I make sure there is no interference when I do the compass dance.
