    Fc40 won't fly normal unpredictable

    I hope you find yours mate, it would be awesome of the video was still useable, would be even better if you found it all and had a second camera to fall back on, though I would love to buy the frame and case off you if thats all you find if you dont mind posting to the UK. Fingers crossed...

    Fc40 won't fly normal unpredictable

    They are getting expensive, I am watching a couple on ebay, but they keep going up right at the end. I think if I can get one, I could sell the camera itself to a RC Car enthusiast, they are idea to velcro on to those too as they are small and light and can be used with a phone app. They are...

    Flying Over Water

    That was just stunning, very brave taking it over that big stretch of water. I think my favourite shots were the pointing straight down ones, amazing colours and textures, and going out across the water looks awesome too. Think I need to fly mine a lot more before I will feel confident enought...

    Fc40 won't fly normal unpredictable

    Hey J.James I'm having so much fun with it now :), there was a time there when I didn't think I would ever get it going again. Sounds like you had a steep learning curve too, so thankful for that, or you couldn't have helped Colin, and in turn wouldn't have been able to help me, still can't...

    Fc40 won't fly normal unpredictable

    Hi Tallyrver Yes got there in the end but it's been a frustrating few weeks. On the plus side I know a lot more about my phantom now so that can only be good. Been having great fun with it since.

    Fc40 won't fly normal unpredictable

    Hi J.James, thanks for your reply. You are awesome by the way ! The test flight went well :). I'm not sure how the ESC got snapped, though there are screwdriver lever marks in that arm which was also the broken one, so it's possible got snapped by the last owner trying to lever the arm apart...

    Fc40 won't fly normal unpredictable

    Hi Colin I have a FC40 that is doing the exact same thing, takes off, seems to settle horizontally then tilts left and drifts left and slightly forward. I took this video ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/wpmwx7mq2wb0j ... 9.mov?dl=0 ) of mine, its in GPS mode, and straight away it starts to drift...
