Any more info? Have you got access to the log file?

When it took off on auto pilot mode, it didn't hover, it just started going forward. So I had to crash land it quickly. It's happened twice. Each time, when I tried it a second time, it worked normal.

Just a suggestion but have you tried a RC stick calibrations? Also are you letting the bird fully warm up...."green safe to fly status" more than 6 satellites? Compass calibration away from metal objects?

Re calibrate your r/c.
calibrate your compass before flight.

Yes, I am waiting for the green safe fly mode. I don't do the compass calibrations though. Didn't think I needed to if the green safe fly mode kicked in.

Looks like I need to start doing this more often.

Noob, if you upload your flight log here and post a link back here, we can review it and let you know what happened.

can you manually take off ok?
or does it want to do the same thing...

Are you in "P" mode? (GPS) ........ If you are not in GPS mode, the bird will drift quite a bit depending on breeze.

I'm still on beginner mode. Only doing the manual take off right now.

Make sure the right toggle switch is in the upper most position.

Hi,

-Does the S1 and S2 keys in RC, are fully on higher position ?
-When you open DJI GO, the screen shows alert to calibrate compasss (rotating quad in the air) ?
-If you´re not in GPS Mode, the Phantom moves freely (front, back, left or right) in the same height, like comment of "gklugie" (above).
