Yesterday I was given a brand new P3S as a gift, went through all of the tutorials and instructions, have calibrated the compass, but when I try to fly, nothing happens. The quad goes through it's start ups light flashes, I get slow blink green lights. Batteries are fully charged. I should mention that I don't have a compatible smartphone. When I follow the instructions for starting the motors, (both sticks simultaneously down and in to the corners) nothing happens. I can tilt the camera just fine, but nothing else. I have tried re-linking the transmitter to the bird, with no results. There is one line in the instructions about activating the thing before flying, but nothing at all about how to do this.
Do I have to go buy a $300 smartphone to use this thing?
