    P3P Falls Out of Sky within a few seconds...WHY?

    Just to circle back on this, DJI were very slow and unresponsive but NewEgg came through and shipped me another unit after doing their process. I am quite impressed with NewEgg as they were very professional and responsive so I am quite pleased with them and will be sure to look to them for...

    The drone is NEW to me. It was refurbished and this was the first flight outside of my back yard. The other thing I noticed is that the drone still had the previous owners name on it. Does that indicate that it was not properly refreshed? The props were new and I made sure to hand tighten...

    It was derived from the .dat file matching the doomed flight. Not right?

    Thanks all for the guidance. The drone actually doesn't look terrible. Just the gimbal arm broke. The camera seems to be working as well as can be. I got the DataCon version of the .dat file. Link is Dropbox - FLY004.log.txt

    Post crash upgrades

    My P3P lost a propeller mid flight also. What casued that? I"m sure I put them on correctly and they were stock. Hope your drone is back to the air now!

    DJI Phantom 3 Professional $550.00 (DJI Refurbished Unit)

    Thanks for the tip. This is probably a dumb question but doesn't it notify you if a newer firmware is available? I did not see indications that a new firmware was available in DJI GO. I will check manually when I get home for sure though. :-)
