    phantom 2 battery mod

    Following this thread with great interest. As Ozfafapiti, I too decided to resurrect my old P2, and of course both batteries were toast! So I've done the lipo mod and now have a pair of 2600mAh 3S batteries wired in parallel slung underneath the P2 and wired to the original smart battery...

    Fly-away with crash. Plenty of info - please help - grounded :(

    My Phantom 2 H3-3D with mini-iOSD in Naza mode has developed a worrying habit, which yesterday resulted in a crash. Since Sunday, on three separate occasions, at three separate locations the Phantom has started up and flown fine. Full GPS lock (10 sats) , flashing green legs, normal operation...

    How many have had no major issues of flyaways?

    Had around 10 flights with my P2. Yesterday went to a new location, only about 8 miles from home so didn't re-calibrate. Take off point was near some low volt power cables but I wasn't too concerned as I would be flying away from them over some fields. I waited for GPS lock and green flashing...

    Thanks Mako79. I did try a 3D cable and it worked a treat, and yes, I haven't dared cutting the yaw cable!

    Ribbon Cable

    With this in mind, wouldn't the H3-3D ribbon work on the 2D just with the extra branch cut off? They're the same shape apart from the extra arm going to the third motor??

    Aftermarket Props

    I noted someone mentioning that the aftermarket ones were very flexible..... Well, I consider the standard DJI ones to be flexible compared to carbon aftermarket ones, so why isn't everyone using them instead? Is it a case of the DJI's flight control system has been tuned to standard blades, so...

    Entire Ribbon Replacement Cable for Zenmuse H3-2D Gimbal

    Indeed. But has anyone tried using the ribbon cable from a H3-3D on the 2D? The shape is the same except for an extra arm that goes to the third motor. I'm hoping that I can cut the extra arm off. If that doesn't work I'll use a piece of the 3D and some 3M 9703 tape to splice a repair.......
