    Phantom 1 goes into failsafe at around 20m

    Now that I have changed these parts It hasn't gone into failsafe as It was before. I believe the new receiver fixed that problem.

    Suggestions for FPV with phantom 1

    I have a phantom 1 and I would like to have an entry lvl FPV setup. For example 200-400ft range is perfectly fine with me. I would appreciate some suggestions on items I think I'll need below. Does a fatshark setup already have everything you need for FPV or does it require buying extra items...

    Phantom 1 parts compatibility

    Thanks ElGuano for the great information. I do have the newer reverse thread motors so I'll give the 9443 props a try.

    Phantom 1 goes into failsafe at around 20m

    Ok back with an update. I have replaced the LED board, the 2.4ghz internal wireless receiver, and the compass. Full re-calibration of everything and I think that has sorted it all out. Start up LED's look normal, searching for sats now proceeds as it should. One last tiny mystery I'm unclear...

    Phantom 1 parts compatibility

    Does anybody have any thoughts on part compatibility? I've learned very quickly that there are various transceivers, transmitters, motors, etc? The main reason I'm asking is because I'm working on a phantom that isn't quite right so I intend to replace parts to try and completely fix it (it does...

    Phantom 1 goes into failsafe at around 20m

    It does make sense that it isn't in the correct mode. I can't find any info on a LED code of Green, Yellow, Yellow. Although I believe if your in manual and motors are started you will get no flashing LED during flight as I do. I'll take apart the controller and check the switch physically.

    Phantom 1 goes into failsafe at around 20m

    It is indeed yellow, I've got a new LED board and Receiver board coming. Debating on downgrading the firmware to check and see if that will make a difference.

    Phantom 1 goes into failsafe at around 20m

    I took this video in a different area and I got a little more led activity. Right when the video ended it stopped blinking and I put the battery pack in and started the motors. http://youtu.be/jjb0uOj24no I'll check my transmitter in the Assistant to make sure the S1 and S2 switchs are working...

    Sure I'll have you a video up in the next hour. Switch 1 and 2 are both in full up position during start up.

    Phantom 1 goes into failsafe at around 20m

    Hello, I have recently started flying a phantom 1. I don't fly very far because I'm still learning the controls and whatnot. Upon testing recently the phantom acted as if it lost signal at around 20m, failsafe kicked in and in landed back at its starting point. Did a second flight with same...
