    Crashed Phantom - Learning to fly used Phantom prior to Mavic Air purchase

    Hi guys, I am happy to report that my P3S is flying well once again with the prop below that I got from Amazon. I wasn't certain they would be actual DJI props as I could not find any on the DJI website. They look and feel the same as those that came with my drone, but most importantly the...

    Crashed Phantom - Learning to fly used Phantom prior to Mavic Air purchase

    Thanks guys. I am in search of appropriate P3 replacement blades. I flew it again yesterday and it was slightly easier to control. Perhaps simply because I am unfortunately becoming more used to the flight problems. There is no longer a wobble (I ran the IMU multiple times) it continues to...

    Do these constitute DJO OEM parts? I am unable to find anything on the DJI website itself, but these are offered via Amazon.

    I can run it longer now and upload a new flight data log if you think it would be helpful to attempt to fly it up a bit and then watch what it does as it descends. It wont hover without me using the stick to give it lift.

    What would you suggest? I am thinking that I may want to try different props just to be sure its not a prop issue. I found these on Amazon. It appears that the DJO site does not offer new replacement props any longer.

    I looked closely and I do not see any cracks other than the one that in front.

    Crashed Phantom - Learning to fly used Phantom prior to Mavic Air purchase

    I loaded flights from the day of 4/13 as I do not see anything earlier. The crash either occurred on the 13 or 14th. I know I flew it successfully in the afternoon of 4/13 around 1pm or so. The times associated with the flight data is in the early evening of 4/13 so possibly after my...

    Crashed Phantom - Learning to fly used Phantom prior to Mavic Air purchase

    I am loading some now. Do the older flight records get written over or expire? I am only seeing flight records back to the day of the crash. I am hoping there are good flights on that day as well as the crash.

    I looked closely and you are correct. I also wonder if this motor is tilted slightly.

    Bright white with the metal in the middle is the new prop. The metal is definitely a difference. The brand is called Flypig.

    Here are the pictures. I also, recalibrated the controller and tried to fly the P3. It is still difficult to control and will not hover in place. There is little change if any.

    Also, I am rather certain that it stayed in GPS mode as I do not recall the green color of GPS mode changing to red or yellow. Compared to pre crash the P3 is very difficult to control. For instance, right now I would not attempt to fly it beyond my cul de sac as I would expect that I would...

    Crashed Phantom - Learning to fly used Phantom prior to Mavic Air purchase

    I was using the auto take off. Since the crash this method barely works and if I do not use the up stick the P3 will not rise and at least in one attempt shut down. Prior to the crash it would easily rise 4or 5 feet and hover awaiting further command.

    You are likely 100% correct. I set the drone on the trunk area of a car while attempting to calibrate. Stupid mistake. It won't happen again. I am completely hooked after flying this thing at a cabin in Eastern, Wa. It is amazing to fly something like this a half mile away from and to be able...
