    This advanced IMU cal sticking is annoying.

    I do not notice that. I am going to put the software on a notebook this afternoon and take it outside to test. I suspect it is the GPS. sj

    Folks these are all great suggestions. Maybe I was not clear in my first post, this is the phantom that went swimming so we can't rule out possible component failure. Right now, I suspect the GPS is what is bad. I will have to take a computer outside (or get a really really long usb cable)...

    The one question I really dislike...

    He was really appreciative of both airplane rides he got, mine and the one in the Stearman. The drawing he of my plane is amazing and I will keep it forever. He was taking pictures of my son flying the drone around so I took it over and showed it to him, then asked him if he wanted to swap...

    The one question I really dislike...

    Sounds like you need an agent, or a personal assistant to handle the crowd. "Sorry sir, Mr. Mmn is concentrating... we would not want that thing to crash into your car now would we?" Sometimes it is good to talk to the crowd. Check out this that happened to me a couple weeks ago while quad...

    My wife knows what they cost and has watched two of them go into the lake, only one was retrieved (by her, actually). She's a keeper... :) sj
