Greeting all. I'll be as descriptive as i can give you as much info as i can.
So, I along with others i see are having issues with there DJI Phantoms not getting above a set height. some people are reporting 150m 200m.
For me i cant even get above the height of my house before the RTH kicks in and wants to land the craft.
Just a little back ground info about this drone (Phantom 3 Standard) :
I acquired this drone for Free!! No ITs not stolen. I was clearing out a house for a home owner who rents out homes and the tenant left, left every thing in the house and the home owner said i can keep any thing i find of use and bin the the rest. And as luck would have it i come across the drone, The kids are going Nuts at the moment with this thing..
After inspecting the drone at home i noticed that one of the blades was damaged, so iv replaced that after fining some blade in the original box along with the tool to help remove the blades.
what Iv done so fare from day 1 of acquiring it:
since that 1st flight what iv done.
I see a post on here of people taking about FTP and setting the UK file/code to UK OK. but that kind of thing is way out my league. On the same thread there are some vids or people taking the drone apart to do some soldering work on the Circuit broad.
if any one can help or have any suggestions it would be much appreciated

what Iv done so fare from day 1 of acquiring it:
- Charged every thing, RC, drone, downloaded the DJI Go app and turning every thing on for the 1st time i was promoted with an update Firmware v01.09.0200. I done that right away before even flying the thing.
- Done a test flight, that was a success. confirmed to my self that every thing is looking like it working as it should.
- while at the testing area i though i would give it a altitude test to see if i could get above the tree line where i was. The trees are no bigger then say 10-15m or so.
- At that height a message pops up on the DJI Go app saying lose/ week signal. Then hear a voice say "returning home"
since that 1st flight what iv done.
- Downgraded the FW to v1.05.7 manualy
- Updated the FW bk to v1.09.02 from the DJI App
- downgraded bk to v1.07.9 from the DJI App
- Downloaded the FW v1.09.2 manual
- checked the log reports on the Text file you get on the SD card all saying success.
- read a post on here saying to log out of DJI GO app and log back in as it rests this 50m hight restriction
- flowed some instructions on Youtube for how to reconnect the RC to the drone, re calibrate the compass/gps
