I flew my phantom again today and all went well.  I try my best to be very delicate with it so i dont shorten its lifespan in some fashion.  However, taking the battery out is no small measure.  You have to pull it quite hard and one time it slipped out of my hand and i about paniced.  Im glad its snug for obvious reasons, but geeez.  I may not have to crash mine, simply removing the battery might jolt something lose.  Any advice?

Thanks...

Do it this way.

You're welcome, Happy Flying!

Or this video from Simon Newton who shows how if you add a little silicone grease, I found mine in the plumbing isle at HD, to the front little grooves on the battery, it comes right out with out any special grip.
