    Phantom 1 pilot goes to Standard-3 and questions...

    1.6.8 works fine on my P3S. I had to install it twice, but it works great.

    Update on my crash and attempted repair.

    It was pretty scary when I first turned it on. I am a tool and die maker and am used to working on small, intricate assemblies. $65 in parts and a few hours in time. I posted the same video on the DJI Forum and one of the members there zeroed right in on the problem. I got lucky. Flew it today...

    Update on my crash and attempted repair.

    I replaced the roll arm, yaw arm and ribbon cable. I checked and double checked all of the alignments. All motors move freely and smoothly with no power applied. I am attaching a video of the gruesome results of my efforts. I'm getting a "Gimbal Motor Overload" message. No indication of which...

    Just ordered a P3S.. Right decision?

    I've had a P3S since February. I couldn't be happier. Great machine. Get the Litchi App for awesome pre-programmed flights. I have had no major problems with firmware updates. Some, I have had to install twice. Have fun.

    Roll Arm Replacement

    Thank you for the reply. The parts that I have on order come with a plastic alignment tool. Strangely, I find myself looking forward the the repair job. Thanks also for the locktite suggestion.

    Roll Arm Replacement

    I crashed my P3 Standard and wrecked the yaw and roll arms. I have found all kinds of help on YouTube about replacing the yaw arm and ribbon cable. I haven't found anything about the roll arm. I have the parts on order. Has anyone done this or found any instructions? The ring holding the motor...

    Help me please

    I was just starting to lose the video feed. I never lost control of the AC. Obviuosly, it's an industrial park. Lots of machine shops, medical device manufacturers and electronics outfits. A lot of potential for interference, but I've had my longest flights there. I love the location because all...

    Help me please

    I have the Standard and am more than happy with it. It's a toy for me. I don't get to fly often enough to justify spending any more money than I need to get in the air and take great videos and photos. I may have gotten a good one as I usually get pretty good distance before signal loss. 1500...

    Major app update - DJI Ultimate Flight

    Is there a list of tested devices? I am using a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime smart phone. It is not on DJI's list of approved. Everything works fine for the Go App except for Google Maps. That is hit or miss. Not sure if it's my phone, or the app. Not much of a problem so far as I have a P3Std...
