    Calibrating the Phantom 4 Sensors

    I tried to calibrate the cameras just because the app said I could. Do not know if my P4 needed to be calibrated. Figured out how to hold the drone. Very difficult to line up red and blue boxes. Very difficult. Calibrating forward and downward cameras was even more difficult. Rotating or...

    Nano QX won't get off the ground!

    I checked everything, and indeed two of the props were blowing up instead of down. Now they all blow down, but the copter spins around its axis when it lifts off. I suppose that I have to swap props in some way now.

    Nano QX won't get off the ground!

    Motors definitely all blow down and respond to tilting and rotation.

    Nano QX won't get off the ground!

    Nano QX won't get off the ground!

    i am experienced if not a very good pilot. I have several quads. Largest is a P4. But I have problems with my Nano QX. I have learned that none of the motors will go faster than one that is bad o failing. When my problems not getting off the ground started. I determined which motor was bad...
