    Drone causes disruption at Gatwick airport

    The trouble is we will never know. The investigation will be inconclusive. The culprit, if there is one, will never be identified. But it will be another black mark against drone pilots.

    Phantom 2 can't calibrate

    Thanks but the controller IS talking to the phantom. When I flip S1 a few times, then the two connect. I can start the motors, I can fly the phantom. The problem is the calibration, as described previously.

    It doesn't matter how much I rotate it in the vertical plane - as soon as I rotate it 360 degrees in that plane then the solid green light goes and yellow comes back.

    Phantom 2 can't calibrate

    Yes it's possible that there is buried steel everywhere I take the p2 but I think it's unlikely. Batteries and contacts also ok. Anyone know what the vertical plane rotation is for compass or gps?

    Phantom 2 can't calibrate

    No steel - open ground. I'm uncertain whether the second vertical plane rotation is in fact intended for the GPS rather than than the compass. After all, the green blinking signifies that it can see satellites, and that is what I can no longer get. The GPS unit and cables seem intact...

    Phantom 2 can't calibrate

    After a hard crash (unexplained ... the phantom more or less just stopped responding and fell from the sky) I can no longer calibrate the compass. If I rotate it in a horizontal plane, the green light comes on solid after 360 degrees. If I then rotate in the other plane then either I get the...
