Greetings.
My wife gave me a Phantom (first version) for Xmas. Good wife. I've tried several times to get it flying, but keep encountering the same problem (have watched the videos, read the manual, searched the forums, etc.). The issue is this: When I first switch on the phantom, following the correct sequence, everything seems fine. I go to calibrate the compass and get the solid green light after turning 360 degrees in the horizontal position. When I switch to the vertical position and turn 360 degrees, the solid green light switches to a blinking red light in a series of three quick flashes. It keeps blinking three times quickly over and over. Have tried the calibration procedure about 30 times but no go. And it won't fly. Any advice?
