Well after waiting impatiently for over 5 business days I cancelled my DJI order for a $359 refurbished P3S and picked up a brand new one on Amazon for $405 and it shipped to my door in 3 business days. Messed around indoors with powering up the equipment, updating the FW (1.08) on the RC, AC and batteries along with familiarizing myself with the DJI Go application (3.1.3). I also calibrated the IMU, gimbal and RC sticks. Once I was outdoors today on a soccer field I then calibrated the compass.
Today was the first day of getting it in the air outdoors and all I can say is WOW!
On the third flight/battery I did notice some toliet bowling of the AC while it was close to ground but I reluctantly brought it up higher and spinning around went away.
The DJI Go application did crash and exit on 3 different flights while the AC was in the air which was a little frightening but it started back up quickly when relaunched. I have a Google Nexus 6 which is fairly new HW so the app should not be overtaxing the processor in the phone. I was recording video on each of these DJI Go crashes which might contribute to the issue.
I did try the RTH button in the app and it worked great the first time but on the second battery/flight the AC flew past me at full speed and I cancelled the RTH immediatly with the right RC switch and brought the AC back manually. That was a little freaky...
Will be uploading flight logs into Healthy Drones soon to see what went on with the toliet bowling and flying past me on RTH.
Have a bunch of stuff ordered to take the P3S with me on hikes which I look forward to collecting some nice photos and videos from.
