No wonder it won't liftoff his sticks are reversed. And I see he has one of those new transparent model must have cost an arm & a leg..

Jason, what do you mean sticks are reversed? There are two models: up and down on left side or right side. Is this what you mean? Or do you mean that pushiing the throttle should turn off the engines?? Am I holding the remote control upside down?

Some who owned Phantom 2 have made the mistake in the software of the rc unit and switched stick modes from mode 2 to mode 1 which reversed the way the control sticks worked. In other words power and yaw were switched to the right stick while pitch and roll were in the left stick.

Why is this a mistake?

jason 13 Nov 2014 21:33

Because they cannot figure out why it won't lift off. You'd really be surprised how many have done this. Normally rc units the left stick is used for power whether its quadcopters, aircraft or vehicles

Well, do you really think this is why it won't lift off?

Well can pigs fly?? The same goes for glass jars.

It's an unfortunate turn of phrase for a resident of Israel
