36, and a P1 FC40 Also have a few home-built 250 size FPV quads

Thanks. I did some googling and came to understand what you mean. I was able to swap the older receiver in, and get it working. Had to go into the NAZA software and change the transmitter type from D-bus to PPM. After that it worked great. The drone on the other hand has issues. Doesn't fly...

So I purchased a lot of drones on ebay, and one of the drones that came with it was a busted V1.0 original phantom. All 4 ESC's were toast, but it looked like it could potentially fly again. Well, long story short, I picked up the "guts" to a V1.1.1 cheaper than buying the ESC's, which was...

Yup, the early P1's were a little different. All the motors are threaded the same way so you can't use the self-tightening props. The receiver only has a single antenna. Red version of the Naza (V1?) and the landing skids lack the soft pads on the bottom. I've got one of these that had all...

Nevermind. I'm a confirmed idiot. Went back to beginning and checked layout. Seems battery door is the FRONT of the craft? I was going by my esc led colors. Looks like red is front green is rear? I sorta assumed red was rear of craft. Anyway, got it flying. Flew it around a bit and pretty...

Layout is correct. I've double and triple checked that quad-X is selected. When I enter "motor Test" I initially found the original owner did have the motor sequence wrong. I opened the quad up and rearranged the servo leads, and confirmed that the motor numbering and prop direction is now...

Hi All, New phantom owner here. Not new to drones as I've built a few 250 size quads for FPV, and building an F550. Picked up a lot of P1's on Ebay and one of them was a fairly decent FC40 minus the camera. Cleaned it up and it's in very decent shape. Attempting to fly it and it flips on...
