I'm 60 years old, getting back into RC after a long hiatus. Just took delivery of my Phantom v 1.1.1, assembled it with no hassles whatsoever, have watched the DJI videos, and have successfully downloaded the driver and newest version of the NAZAM Assistant.
I went through both the basic and advanced configurations and the basic completed successfully, but a moment into the advanced calibration routine, I was greeted by a message that said the" MC was too warm, disconnect for 5 minutes and try again." Nonetheless, the calibration went on to completion and gave me a green check at the end. The obvious question is, WTH??? Am I good to go, or not?
Also, although the Phantom is reasonably sturdy and (shockingly!) lightweight, do you REALLY trust the latch on the battery compartment to stay secure? I can envision maneuvers which would result in a battery spilling out and throwing the CG off so badly a crash is guaranteed. Is there any need to buttress the closure with velcro or some such?
Thanks in advance!
