The controller arrived yesterday. I bound it to the aircraft, and it fired right up. The motors seem to move alright, so I’m more confident that this little beauty just needs some TLC and replacement parts.
The charge cable arrived today, so I am charging the flight battery and controller so that I can hopefully do a firmware update and flight test this evening.
After flying through a screen and causing damage, this little beauty has found a new home. Time to validate it, test it, and test fly it before finding a new owner for it.
Confirmed thus far
Step 1 – Unit powers up
Step 2 – Camera gimbal fires up and appears to function on all 3 axis with no visible camera damage (despite flying through a screen and into a wall).
Step 3 – Unit flashes “red up front, and yellow behind”…indicating that it is searching for a controller.
Pending
Just waiting for the arrival of a controller so that I can bind them together and motor test.
If all the motors spin up, then I’ll replace the props and do a garage flight test.
If the garage flight test is successful then I’ll bind my ipad to the unit and do a video test flight in the garage. Then I’ll start to “step up flights” to test it thoroughly.
