I have a Phantom1/FC40. I bought it used and it flew fine. I keep the software updated, but now it gets the flashing red light as soon as I take off. The book says it is low battery or bad calibration. But I tried 3 different batteries and calibrated it many times. Opened it up and checked all the connections. Checked battery voltage settings, etc.
So here is the kicker, it flies great at home! No problems! Then I take it to the RC field and it does the flashing red thing. No fly.
Re-calibrated the compass every time and it is successful.
Now, our RC field is three miles from an airport. My home is not near any airport. Is it possible I got some limitation in the last software download? If so, how do I bypass it? We have a letter of understanding with the airport manager so we are good to go.
Thanks for any insight you can give.
