In beginner mode yesterday, all OK (1st Drone), and had 2 short flights.
Today (in beginner mode), AIR takes off (from screen icon), hovers at 3 ft, but will not respond to the sticks at all.
(All charged & udates done).
All I can do is touch the land icon, and down it comes again.
Repeated this till battery was flat...
HELP!

Are you in a NFZ?

Are you in a NFZ?

I'm in the UK.

Oh, (newbee :-). No Fly Zone. No.

Have you calibrated the imu  and the compass.

Compass yes, IMU no. I'd better start reading... (worked yesterday, from same location though).

Def calibrate the IMU

It's getting worse.
Now I can't get connected properly.
Should I start a new thread?
Screen says "RC Connected" but on right "Enter Device".
I try enter device, next,next and press F on AIR for 4 secs, but no next button appears...
What now (frustrated)

Likely he is connected the phone to the drone directly instead of via the remote control.  The phone has to be connected to the remote control's wifi.  The drone then connects to the remote control.  The drone can't connect to both the phone and the remote as that would be confusing.  Pair the remote to the drone per instructions then use the phone to find the wifi signal from the remote.

Ok, I tried again.
I switched everything off.
I switch on the controller.
I switched on the Aircraft.
I started the phone & GO 4 App.
It goes to screen with RC Connected on left, Enter device on right.
I touched enter device, next, next, and hit the Aircraft button 4 secs to 2 beeps.
Nothing.

Ah, do you mean when I go "enter device" connect to aircraft, by wifi, I'm actually trying to connect the PHONE to the aircraft, which isn't needed???
If that's the case, how do I advance from screen that says RC connected in bottom left corner?

I would suggest you properly relink the connection between your RC and the MA:
It can be that you accidentally established a WiFi connection between your phone and the MA. After that MA will not connect automatically to the RC any more. Best switch off WiFi on your phone for the exercise and connect your phone via cable to the RC.

Well done and thank you Wachtberger - I am connected again, AND understand what was wrong.

Now for the IMU...

Yeah, it should say Go Fly not Enter Device. Sounds like the drone has not yet connected to your controller. Sometimes it takes 30 seconds for that connection to happen once you power on the drone.

Good to know that you got it connected. Please check if it the stick control works after. Please ensure that your RC mode is in mode 2 (left throttle) when flying. Please keep us updated if the case persists.

:-). Soon as I'd done that flash response I searched for NFZ and thought, nobody on this forum is going to take me seriously again!
Just crashed (in beginner mode), which may be another 1st.
One motor not free running any more.

lol we are all guilty of bloomers so don't worry. I would send the drone off for repairs asap and get back into the air.... again we all have little issues so not a first that I can assure you of lol

Read up on "lost drone" posts. Most are avoidable.
