Ok thanks.. I am pretty sure it's full of rebar, so probably not a good idea. Is it ok to take off on a street, asphalt? I don't think those have much in the way of metal under them. Also on compass calibration, I thought it was only wise to calibrate in an area such as a nice open field...

I did not calibrate compass here. There is a stone wall that is my backyard fence and a pool deck which is concrete where I took off from. I assume this probably isn't a great spot to take off from?

Wanted to go on a quick flight tonight, everything normal. Satellite count wasn't as high as I would like but enough to fly. I have also flown from this location several other times with no issues. I got about 75ft up and 135ft away. All the sudden I get Compass error and forced switched...

I am new as well and that happened to me too, the good part for you was it actually reconnected. Mine dropped completely and I couldn't get it to reconnect anywhere. I would of had to start fighting through the woods and thick brush to try and get to mine. I was in shock, then about a...

So your saying that if your flying with Litchi and lose signal your P3S will in fact RTH? Where is this setting in Litchi?

Picked my P3S up from Target this week and am loving it so far. This thing rocks. Been doing a bunch of reading and watching videos to learn as much as possible about it and recently discovered these forums as well. Here are a some questions. 1) I live in Austin, Texas so it doesn't...
