First time for me...
Tonight i thought i would take a couple of flights after work, two fully charged batteries, slightly overcast but certainly nice enough to flly and it is supposed to rain over the next few days so it was time to get out and fly. I thought i had seen/read most everything...and maybe i had read this but it just happened and i was "WTP"!
After pre flight checks, powering up the RC, the TX and then the Phantom and satellite lock and then my phone in Airplane mode..my Phantom just displayed flasing yellows!! I had never had these before...So, I first glance at my RC and TX, everything looked o.k., looked at the Phantom and oh crap..thought i should just start over (maybe i missed something)..re power everything, compass dance..and so on...Anyhow, after all the rituals were over, still Yellow lights, damn..something is wrong...DUH!!!.
After a quick check of the light sequences at start-up again, i did a double take on the little tag that was supplied with the Phantom...
Quite simply...All Yellows = Ready to Fly without GPS or Transmitter Signal lost...I then thought...hmmm...TX is fully charged and both lights on the TX are on so what is the state for "Ready to Fly without GPS"...Bingo...That would be ATTI...and as sure as Shiza, I looked down and S1 was in position 2 (ATTI as i am in NAZA-M)..and wouldn't you know it...I flipped S1 up into position 1, off went the Yelllow lights and away BB and i went...off into the Sunset......It could happen to anyone, has this happened to you?
