    Crash landing :(

    Thank you both for really helpful responses. As a newbie I'm completely ignorant about the internals, and was unsure whether case damage can interfere with operations. Am pretty impressed how a 2 storey sideways fall onto concrete didn't do a great deal of damage. One prop guard was broken but...

    Crash landing :(

    Hi all, after 4 months of careful flying in open areas I've had my first crash. A gust of wind blew the drone against the fourth floor of a tall building. Luckily prop protectors seem to have cushioned the blow, and the fall to a balcony on the second floor. I now have two small area of...

    Light patterns & compass calibration

    I tried to do an advanced IMU calibration with the Assistant, but it said too hot. I let it finish anyway. Went to a different park, did the compass calibration then got four green flashes followed by one red flash (cycling). That doesn't seem to be listed in the light patterns at all!

    Light patterns & compass calibration

    Can anyone who has seen the yellow/red compass calibration warning lights tell me whether they flash constantly? I get about 4 green flashes, then 1 red/yellow, but only at some locations.

    Light patterns & compass calibration

    Ah OK, thanks. It does about 4 green flashes then one of the red and yellow flashes, then repeats the cycle. But that doesn't happen when I'm out of the restricted flying zone - I get only green then. As I mentioned, I have recalibrated with the Assistant and also by rotating the plane, but...

    Light patterns & compass calibration

    Thanks, but that doesn't answer either of my questions. As I explained, I already know that I am in the orange zone of an airport.

    Light patterns & compass calibration

    Hi all I have had my Phantom for about 2 months and am generally delighted with it. But I have a couple of issues which someone may be able to help with. Living just over 5km from an airport and using firmware 3.06, I expected height limits to apply. When I start the Phantom the lights flash...
