DJI Phantom 3 Fly Aways

[D Best]

Hi all,

I have a DJI Phantom 3 Standard, and I a have heard that some people have had fly aways. Is this really true? If so, what can I do to prevent it?

Thanks,
David

From what I gather, its mostly "cockpit" error.

A good web site for all things Phantom:

PhantomPilots.com

You can spend days reading about this flyaway problem.

Good luck

I've experienced signal loss a few times on my Phantom 4 at distance. It's very unnerving the first couple of times, but the RTH has always performed flawlessly. Generally signal is re-acquired really quickly and you resume the flight. Once or twice I let it come all the way back just for trial purposes and it worked exactly as it should.

I truly believe if you pre-flight correctly, the Phantoms are very, very reliable. If you don't pre-flight including all settings, IMU, compass, etc., a fly-away should probably be attributed to that.

Hasn't been a problem since pepsi fixed the code about 10 years ago
