Hi,
thanks, so I went back to the drawing board and read the original DJI Phantom manual, and guess what, your correct.
I just had not noticed this previously, I had always just used the twin stick and bringing them together.
So ok, I though great everything is good, I did a last calibration using the PT2 Software and closed everything up and put the props back on.
With a little caution I slowly started to increase power and that is when everything went terribly wrong, props accelerated quickly, then the Phantom rose a few ices and immediately flipped over.
Luckily nothing really damaged just my lawn has a little bit of a short back and sides.
Si i then decided to try again and this time held the Phantom while I had somebody start it up and try and increase throttles, it tried to do the same thing again, all then props getting different speeds and it was pulling and moving all over the place.
So I went back inside reconnected it all to the computer and had a look at the calibration and it looks fine !!!
I have no idea what is going on !!

Hi All,
I finally managed to get my Phantom 2 Vision+ SEMI working with the Taranis and the X8R however I have one more issue I have not been able to resolve prior to actually doing a LIVE test ( With Props on ) with the PHANTOM.
Currently If I take the throttle down to the lowest setting the Phantom powers off, as you can imagine this is not a favourable outcome.
Normally to turn off the phantom is the same as the turning ON mode. Both sticks into the centre and down into the middle corners, this still works, however currently you can also power off the Phantom by just putting the throttle into the lowest position.
Being a NEWBEE I would suggest that this is something I might do on one of the occasions that a TERROR moment occurs.
Can any body help with this last issue please ????
That's expected behavior, and the Phantom is set by default to not shut the motors down that way while in flight...the trigger will only work once it has detected that it has landed (or before take-off).
However, note that even though holding the throttle all the way down for 3 sec or more while in flight won't shut the motors down, it will invoke the autoland sequence which can be stopped by bringing the throttle back up.
