    Hi from Queensland Australia

    Hi Wayne, I've got a Ps3 4k and I'm learning to do some 360 shots and, of course, to fly the drone better (only about 10 flights so far!) It would be great to get some SE Qld drone pilots together. I've flown a couple of times with these guys - very helpful and friendly Brisbane Aerial Drone...

    Thanks, Dirkclod, That was it! Thank you!! We'd learned about the compass calibration but not IMU yet - pretty essential really! Have had our first successful take off!

    Yes I have the latest firmware (and that was acknowledged on phone) and surface was flat, and had just recalibrated.

    Yes - to following the guide to the letter (I think!) I also followed some Youtube help in what COULD be the error (correct calibration, check little gimble tubes on secure, restarting devices in correct order and ensuring a flat clear surface). The error messages I know: Sensor Bias Too...
