I felt the same way! Mini heart attacks occurring as I watched $1260 fly in front of me. It does get better over time as your confidence builds. Make sure you read the manual completely! It is very vague and someone with knowledge of the entire system needs to write a complete user friendly instruction manual so Phantom pilots can fly and maintain their aircraft. Make sure when you update software in your RC and aircraft, and before you fly it, complete an IMU, RC, compass and gimble calibration. This could possibly save you a lot of headaches. Perform a COMPLETE pre-flight check EACH time you fly! You will read other post where some say not to do a compass calibration each time, it's you $$$ flying around! If you have a hard landing, the aircraft tips over.....perform a IMU and compass cal. before you take off again. These are some of the things I've learned, not through the manual, but reading posts in this forum and researching the internet. Keep up with your homework and stay attuned to what is going on with other pilots, updates and what to avoid. |
