So I finally got my Phantom back in the mail yesterday. Of course, my friends were at my house when it arrived and decided to prank me by taking it out of the case and leaving a note that said it was stolen and then taped it back up for me to find on my doorstep, that was fun. I've been waiting forever for it to get back and then I deal with that and its been raining here which barely ever happens so no flying yet.
I decided to start everything up yesterday to make sure this one works and the exact same symptoms were happening with the first one. This is after I was told by B&H that it was tested and flown by them. So after a couple hours of searching more online as to what it could be and trying to figure out if I was somehow doing something completely wrong in trying to start it up, I decided to open it up and look inside if the GPS cable was loose. BINGO, it was completely disconnected, must have happened surfing shipping. Plugged it in and I finally was able to get the motors to start up. The first one definitely had a defective GPS because it was plugged in, but talk about being stressed out dealing with the same symptoms. I ordered it a full month ago and now I just have to wait for this rain to clear so I can finally take it out on its maiden voyage.
