I also lost mine in a bay on Monday so I feel your pain. At 150 yards it just stopped responding and nothing I tried could bring it around. I switched off the transmitter to send it in recovery mode and it just continued it's slow descent into the drink. Luckily for me however I was in the...
Anyone know of a source for good self tightening C.F. props. I bought some on Ebay that don't work at all.
Also ElGuano for the larger battery - does that require the larger battery door?
Been there and done that only a few short weeks ago. Thankfully it is all behind me and flying is now fun. Have you downloaded the assistant software to a computer, hooked up your quad and calibrated it? If so it might just be you haven't found the correct combination of stick positions to...
I was watching a video last week with some fellow filming his homemade quad in action when it suddenly inexplicably fell out of the sky like a stone into the river or lake he was flying over. Lucky for him his machine was waterproof and buoyant so he quickly recovered it. Cause turned out to...
I am new to this forum, flying and Phantoms having purchased my first practice fly toy about a month back and taking my Phantom 1 for it's first flight about 10 days ago. All was going very well until this AM during a quick flight when I got a little cocky and disoriented then lost sight of my...
I will concur - it's a lot spookier than it sounded. You'll want to have a USB extension cable. There were two levels of adjustment: simple and advanced I believe. The only difference being one took a few more minutes than the other.
Since posting about my Blade Nano experience and getting over my first Phantom flight inertia the poor Nano has sat alone and unloved like a red-headed step-child. If I had a large great room I'd love to fly it around the house but I'm not going to go buy a new home to make that happen. I...
How did you get started? - Someone sent me a video link of a favorite beach shot with a Phantom and Gopro. I was hooked.
Did you buy a small, trainer drone before buying a Phantom? Yes - Blade QX - currently for sale on Ebay but well worth the small investment.
If you bought a small...
I read somewhere that a Blade QX Nano was a good trainer and then heard the advice repeated by the owner of a nice little hobby shop in Stonington Conn. It was already being delivered from Amazon so I picked up some extra batteries (I now have 5) and started practicing regularly; indoors at...
Thank you for your posts both serious and silly.
I thought I posted a thank you follow-up response to this thread earlier this AM - but where it went I just don't know.
Despite a setback or two last night together with and a warning suggesting I should try again later because something with 3...
I am new to the hobby and was moving slowly until I went stopped in at a DJI dealer last week to ask some questions and walked out with a Phantom 1. The weather has been way too bad to attempt flying until this afternoon so when I saw my chance despite I headed to the park to give it a go and...
