Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Me? Not so much Haha

This is definitely a sophisticated Quad.

My problem is the "infamous LOST SIGNAL" error!

Best I can gather so far, is this means no signal from the controller to the Phantom??

But I can do the controller stick set up in DJI Go, This tells me that the Controller is talking to the Phantom and the Phantom is talking to my Android device. I also see that the GPS is seeing anywhere from 7-9 birds. And that is indoors. I have tried outdoors also.

Anyone have any clues or suggestions? Also, I am trying to "fly" it without teh Android and no success in starting the motors. Anyone have any idea how this is done??

I apologize in advance for asking questions that have been answered in the past I am sure. I just cant find the right answers DUH.......LOL

Have fun
Bill

It will loose signal if you are too close like in the house checking settings, and such.
Is it doing this while flying outside?

I have never flown any of my dji aircraft without a device so I am not sure on that one.

Ok, Thanks guys! It needed to have the RC Link done. My question would be why? Since the DJI manual says only necessary if you get a new controller. Guess they get lazy and skip that step!

Anyway, amazing! WOW! Fantastic! What a nice way to fly haha Instead of fighting the controls as I have been doing on my Tarantula.

I did have a scare whoah. I thought I was activating the "auto" land feature. Apparently I activated the RTH feature. That sucker took off straight up over the house and boom its gone. I had a heart attack!

I ran around the house trying to figure out what button to push LOL I looked and there it was making a perfect landing from where I took off.....PHEWWWWWWW

NICE Quad.
