Hi, everyone!
I just got a Phantom and I've done all of the steps that I'm supposed to to make it fly.
Charged batteries, calibrated (all light sequences confirmed), lights flashing green in GPS mode (good satellite coverage), light flashing yellow when I switch from GPS mode, installed firmware update, validated that the transmitter is talking to the copter with software client, used software client to test motors which are working.
However, it won't fly.
One thing I notice is that the controller (left side/ throttle) doesn't stick like I think it should/ per videos.
So, it would make sense in my estimation that the throttle isn't working since it always returns to place AND it doesn't fly which requires "giving it gas"
Can anyone confirm this hypothesis and give me a recommendation. It is brand new and I got it from BH photo/ video.
Thanks!
Ken
