Oh wow, I am an idiot. This whole time I have been putting the straps OVER the antenna. No wonder it is broken. Thanks for the info, I will buy plast-aid. Appreciate the help!

I am not sure how, I am assuming it was angled in such a way inside my hardshell backpack that is somehow made it crack. Either way, the cable from the transmitter to the actual antenna is in place and connected. It is just the plastic that cracked. Can I just glue this back together and be ok...

Why would a phantom 2 not fit in the case? They are the same size. The only difference would be the battery size and I am sure you can fit that in the case somewhere.

To be more specific I have a phantom 1.1.1 and the theory on not having it return to home and instead just landing is that return to home is what actually causes certain (not all) flyaways. Reason being the phantom loses connection, gets confused on where home is, and starts flying to where it...

I had somebody recommended me to turn off the "go home and land feature" and instead turn on just the landing option. I was told that this would help prevent random flyaways. Can anybody here back this claim up and let me know if this is a safe change to make?

Re: Has anybody NOT had a flyaway or some sort of control lo I am going to have to check out one of those things. Def will make me feel better.

Re: Has anybody NOT had a flyaway or some sort of control lo Fantastic post. I actually already have my phantom and have flown it about 3-4 times now.I have done my fair share of youtube videos, online tutorials, and going through the LED's. I think you're right though and I do need to try...

Re: Has anybody NOT had a flyaway or some sort of control lo That's impressive, any tips for beginners? Anything you recommend pre-flight and during flight to keep things going without issue?

Re: Has anybody NOT had a flyaway or some sort of control lo That's pretty cool, but will the gps tracker interfere with the phantom in anyway to make it actually fly away or act weird? I know you can't have the wifi on a gopro on, so I feel like having an actual gps tracker on it might make...

Re: Has anybody NOT had a flyaway or some sort of control lo I asked this above, but i will ask you again. What is a GPS tracker help with? Does the phantom not have its own GPS? Any GPS trackers that you recommend?

Re: Has anybody NOT had a flyaway or some sort of control lo Did you have any close calls and if so, any tips for a beginner?

Re: Has anybody NOT had a flyaway or some sort of control lo Can you explain what this does or how it works and how much they cost? Is it a more accurate way to see how many sats there are?

I just got a Dj Phantom 1.1.1 and while reading up on the led lights, imu calibration, compass calibration, etc., it's hard not to come across all of the horror stories. I guess my question is are there people who have owned this for at least 6 months to a year that have not had a flyaway or...
