Hello, I am a complete drone novice and I have questions and issues relating to my new Parrot Mambo FPV. So far, I have only flown indoors with the easiest settings and in video mode.
1. Tried to update software from 3.0.25 to 3.0.26 via USB connection to my PC but the drone is not recognised as a 'drive' so cannot drag & drop downloaded file. Tried updating through FreeFlight Mini+ app. on my Android smartphone and this went along OK so far before appearing to stall at the 'resetting drone' stage.....taking so long to complete that the battery expired.
2. What is the exact sequence of actions required when preparing to fly........what to turn on at what stage? The effectiveness of connection appears to be inconsistent.......sometimes connection is very quick, sometimes it takes a lot longer with different screens appearing on my phone and sometimes it will not connect at all. So, I try again from the beginning. I have learnt to 'forget' my home wi-fi network and this has given more success but not every time.
3. Sometimes, the drone has excellent hands-off stability but at other times it drifts laterally, even though I have not changed settings or crashed it in between flights.
4. How should I use the Flat Trim function....is it a calibration requirement or a resetting function?
I have looked at numerous tutorial and other videos and also searched the internet for answers but the information seems very disjointed and sometimes contradictory. I guess what I would really like to find is a detailed user manual. Please can anyone point me in the right direction or help with some of my issues above?
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
Brian
