I received my Phantom a couple of weeks ago, and I am just getting around to creating a short video of the maiden flights.
I was unable to get the Phantom into compass calibration mode until after the first flight. I am not sure if this was a contributing factor in me "crashing" twice on the initial flight. I was not very high off the ground and it lost altitude and "Bumped" the ground on two occasions on the first flight. I was flying in GPS mode.
Issues:
1) I purchased a propeller balancer but was unable to balance the props because they didn't fit tight on the balancer;
2) I upgraded the firmware to 4.0 and was unable to perform the initial compass calibration until after the first flight;
3) Case does fit Phantom with Prop guards on.
