OK, at first I thought about posting this in the "Warning" section, being that I wanted to warn everyone about the sharpness of the rotor blades on the Phantom 2 Vision + 3.0. I got into a tight situation with the drone and naturally I hit the wrong joystick. The drone turned upside-down and all I saw was greenery flying everywhere. Not all the motors were turning and I freaked out and stuck my hand into the drone to try to minimize damage. Not a smart thing to do, it ended up shredding three fingers and spent a week sporting band-aids on 3 different fingers. I try to use my head for something besides a "hat rack", but I failed miserably. Everything is working OK on the drone but it seems to drift while in GPS mode. I'm wondering if I could of caused some unseen damage. It's good to know that the motors are clutched when obstructed.  Still having a blast though...

Cheers!

Check IMU calibration in the PT2 Phantom assistant. do the advanced and basic calibration

And keep your fingers out of the props.

You're not the only one.....however, you are the member of a pretty select club.

I've only gotten hit by my toy grade props....hardly a scratch.

I actually have warning stickers on my Phantom to remind me to stay clear of the props!

JM has warning stickers on his fingers called scars.

That's exactly what I did to correct the drift. Hovers on a dime! Thanks

That's funny, but after 58 years I barely have fingerprints left..
