Hi guys, I am new here so apologies if this has been brought up before!
I am flying (or was flying!) a Phantom 2, H3-3D gimbal with a gopro hero 3 black. Yesterday I had my first Phantom freak out... unfortunately it was over a pond at the time, the phantom violently went from side to side, then spun, then went full speed into the water. It was under there for over an hour- I had to drive home to get a kayak and then due to the amount of vegetation in the water it took a while to find the copter a couple of metres down.
I took the phantom apart when I got home and dried it out. Tried to start it up the next day in the house (without the props) and it started fine. I then went to a big field to try a flight and when I power on it does its start up beep thing then flashes yellow as normal. It never got the green lights going for GPS but I thought I would try a flight anyway, but when I tried to power up the motors I just got flashing red lights. The battery was full, and not the one that took a swim! I have the latest software version and tried the IMU advance calibration in case it was that.... but no joy.
Anyone know whats up? Thanks
