Phantom 3 Professional – Restoration

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.
