What's weird is that the copter has been running fine for quite a while, even with the prop guards. It's been sitting in my living room for a few weeks since last flight when I decided to take it out for a flight. That's when I realized I had this problem. Where is a good place to buy the right...

After sitting in my living room for a few weeks, I took my P1 out for a flight today only to find that one of the motors is not spinning. It seems to oscillate back and forth rapidly. I can't imagine how it went bad just sitting in my living room. I guess there could be two problems. Either the...

I didn't move the compass, just recalibrated it. The bird was flying fine until I did the firmware update.

I was using the Naza software and it notified me that firmware v4.02 was available. I did the update, recalibrated the IMU and compass and then I couldn't control the copter. I crashed three times in a row. There are storms in the area and I wonder if the electrical activity in the air was...

Would be very interested in what you find. I don't hae a scale that can measure something that light. Just human scales.

1200 grams is 1.2 kilograms or 2.2 lbs. That's a pretty big load. Wow!

Sorry I haven't answered sooner. The email notification got put in my junk mail folder. Where is Jumbo Evans sports park? That sounds ideal for me as a relative beginner pilot. Sounds like enough room for me to really get in some good practice without crashing into trees and stuff.

I put everything back to stock for now but I did change my vertical gain by about 25% before I tried the dual batteries. I have no reference point so I didn't know how much is safe or if changing them is detrimental in any way. I'm still very much a beginner and have a lot to learn. Thanks for...

Yeah it was two Multistar 4000maH. I don't have much of a load otherwise. My camera is not on a gimbal. Just a simple bracket. I do need to get a scale to make sure the load is within reasonable limits.

Very accurate. I bought the kit before your post otherwise I wouldn't have bought the kit. Fortunately it wasn't very expensive.

Too late to cancel. I installed the battery platforms, strapped on two batteries and proceeded to crash my Phantom into a tall tree. I've never lost control before with using just one battery. I had to climb about 20 up the tree to retrieve my Phantom and I somehow lost one of my snap-on prop...

Thanks rebelyellNC, I used a utility knife and it was very easy. Now the battery and wires all fit and the door closes nicely. I appreciate the tip. I just ordered a carbon fiber dual battery carrier kit that comes with a battery wire splitter. I'm going to get another Multistar 4000 maH battery...

Great idea! I am a bit creeped out about cutting a notch in the door but I don't think it will crack when I cut it.

Brand new to flying and have a Phantom 1.1.1. Looking to get to know some of you guys so I can get some flying tips as well as friendship. Is there a Phantom club here is SA? Is there a good place to fly? I've been looking for a space to practice flying. I live in the Northwest side between...

Well Got the Phantom 2 props and it sure makes a different. Vertical acceleration is better and so is maneuverability. Well worth the upgrade. Thanks! That's the first upgrade. Also got a 4000maH battery but it's a bit big even after trimming the edges of the battery compartment. Someone should...
