Hey all,
I just purchased my new Phantom as of Dec. 9, 2013. I assembled it correctly after watching the video on the DJI web site.
Charged the battery. Turned on transmitter. Attached battery to Phantom. Heard all the correct lights. ( I have the spring loaded throttle) Gave it some throttle and ...nothing. Not even a whir. Oh Sh*%&#@! I've read where so many new units did this to new pilots. So... I kept reading on this site. One guy noted that you must put both levers down and to the left. Holy God!
It Works! Right out of the box! I've flown (some) helis so I was getting ready to do some serious research on this. But I have one question. When I move directional stick to the right, she moves left and vice versa. Is this normal. I'm just practicing hovering inside for now. Have not downloaded anything for proper GPS set up. I've been up and down and hovering about 5 times now.
But I'm afraid to start downloading anything because everything works right now. You know, don't fix it if it aint broke kinda thing. But I do want the 'return to home ability' of course. Should I risk it and start the download?
Thank you.
