May be a bad battery or need to clean all contact areas to make certain of good connection. I have had a battery go dead on me after a short period of time. Ken Merbler

Morning Chad, I would have to surmise the Helicopter unit is defective upon arrival. If the Helicopter "binds" okay and all other functions work then I would assume you got a lemon from the factory. I also purchased this item couple weeks ago and had a defective unit with my "right servo" not functioning. Quickly do a RMA back to Amazon for a refund or exchange. There isn't much more You can do with these items to correct or fix.

If its brand new return it. Because its most likely the pcb board. I have a few Wltoys V911's and after a crash with one , the tail motor kept spinning no matter what, even soon as you plugged in the battery. I had to replace the circuit board. You can't repair the circuit boards. I have a couple of the F3's, and they are awsome copters. Bilt better then the v911 but. Slower.

Sounds to me like the electronic board is out or the servos are bad! You could try to send it back to the manufacturer but I don't know about warranty??? Maybe you just got a bad product! I don't even fly mine for now due to tail rotor motor burnout! It was a pretty sturdy little helicopter while it lasted! I crashed it a bunch and kept on flying! They are cheap so in the end you get what you pay for! I thought about buying a couple of them then you could use a broken one for parts. Hope I answered your question! Sorry my response is so late!

Be sure to fully charge it, 45-50 minutes. Also be sure to check it is charging, the plug is flimsy and often shakes off the heli's socket. Could also be a defective battery, for me the hobby is in the repair/upgrade, so I enjoy soldering in New batteries. Haven't gotten any that have died quickly or have been defective, so my gut says the charger fell off.

Unplug and reset it. Put it on a level surfacenter and recalibrate it (left stick down and right, wiggle the right stick left and right) if this does not work, make sure the propellers are both good, and put on correctly. A goes with a, and b goes with b. Happy flying!

I could never get mine to fly at all. One of the motors only spins up intermittently causing the craft to invert and crash. Just got it a few weeks ago but never got it to work.

And the drone has an error after a soft landing. I've had for two months maybe...send me a new one

Same thing happened to me when I let the battery to discharge too much, that ruined the battery and had to purchase a new one. The battery instructions give advice on that, unfortunately I forgot that. Try to stop the Drone as son as the red light start flashing.

I did not have any start up on this other than putting batteries in it. I'd let them know it's defective and to have them send you new.

I learned pretty fast the battery system is not good. I have not flown mine for a while until I come up with a better system.

Couple things that happened to me as well. Solution 1) did you use old batteries to charge it from the controler? If so, replace the batteries and charge again. Also the second time that happened there was some fiber wrapped around the rotor that I had to remove. Other than that, I think it's the best flyer for the price on the market. Hope this helps.

It might be a bad battery. The batteries on these things aren't the best. You should be able to pick up a new batery online for $40 or so.

Make sure that you charge the battery until the USB led turn OFF. Then try it out, if it does not fly is broken. Mine came with one helix loose., I try to glue one of the teeth but after a few seconds it loose up again.

I called DJI, the warranty is 3 months on the battery. The phantom 2 tries to auto land when my batteries are saying they are at 60%. Imagine your phantom 2 auto landing somewhere inaccessible. It is a fault with the batteries, just search it up and you will see (try the PhantomPilots forum). Many P2 owners are plagued with this problem and DJI has done nothing to address the situation. These batteries are an expensive pile of crap.

Not sure. I've got one that is currently not flying too and I've changed all the parts and still can't figure it out??? I still have one that's working good, but still... I will I would of got different ones. They're not bad, but for the price, they should be better!

Sounds like a defect, I would contact somebody and get a new one. Hopefully they'll take care of you because this is a great light. I ordered mine months ago and carry it with me everywhere and it works like a champ! I haven't had to change the batteries yet either!
