I landed my Phantom 3 Standard in a tree a little while ago and finally I have got round to fixing it.
What I have diagnosed is that it is uneven on take off.
So far I have removed the gimbal holder and vibration plate which were damaged to see if this made it unbalanced. No difference to performance.
I have calibrated the compass and the IMU. Checked functionality of handset controls and gone through anything else I can think of that would cause this electronically. Again, no difference made to the performance.
All of this was indoors. I have been outdoors and checked to make sure I have appropriate satellite coverage. 10 seeable. No difference.
I have put a board across the propellers to check how level they are. All ok, and guess what no difference to performance!
I am now trying to determine if the motors are damaged to the rear of the unit. I have held it in the air and "taken off" and I think visibly the rear motors are slower causing the unit to be unbalanced. Is there a better way to check this out before I order expensive parts and find out that I am wrong?!
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I can post videos to help if needed.
