I've had my Phantom about a month now and have flown it almost every day since buying it. Yesterday I was flying in a field and suddenly the right-hand joystick controls seem to have no effect. I could still control throttle and rotation (left stick) but no forward-backward or left-right.
I also noticed that the Phantom was drifting slightly in the wind despite being in GPS mode.
After retieving from a neighbor's roof, I replaced the internal battery and took her up again. Same thing after about a minute of flying. Transmitter batteries measured 5.4 volts with the transmitter on so I don't think that had anything to do with it.
I'm very reluctant to fly it anymore, especially if I have the GoPro onboard.
Does anyone know if this is a firmware issue (I have the latest version)?
Thanks,
John
