P3P repaired and back home ...

[solentlife]

Got it home ... all spick and span ...

Re-linked controller .... full charged battery etc.

Took her out ... calibrated just to be sure .....

Flew fine.

I noted that DJI have installed 1.10.09 FW and not 1.11.20 ......

Quote from Repair Docket :

FW update fails all the time. It happens really often with P3 Pro. We apologise for this.

Then there's pastes from the onboard log showing fails.

Now I am asking myself ... stick with 1.10.09 or go for 1.11.20 ???? Think I'll stick with 1.10.09 for a while ...

Ciao Nigel. Thanks for sharing the video. Question - to what do you attribute the severe horizon tilt at about the 8 minute mark? I find it curious that all seemed level during the day shots, but then tilted during the night shots.

The video was made basically as I received from repair ... I just did Compass Calibration to be sure.

No other calibrations made ... so that is 'raw' ex repair.

Just now - I have done IMU calibration (I do mine outside on a wood plate checked by spirit level where I do Compass Calibration ... because IMU includes Compass in its boxes !).
Once that was completed - I then did gimbal calibration.

Now I wait for better weather to fly and check all again.

But I do notice that when P3 is flown at angle (bit of side with fwd) that gimbal then has to tilt in 3 axis ... leading to odd horizon levels at times .... especially in the wind that I had during the above video.

All calibrations done ... and all good ....

Now that I am happy with the P3P ..... metal plates fitted before cracks appear !!

Stick with 1.10.09 - best FW released for P3P. That is what I decided to settle on for mine.

1.10.09 seems to be working fine ..... I know DJI guy when he checked before sending to repair reverted my RC to 1.6 from 1.8 ..... and that's good as well .....

I have no plans to update FW at this time ... cheers
