    Compass calibration errors

    This may sound stupid but are you wearing a watch? This happened to me after I changed my band from rubber to SS band on my Apple Watch - believe it or not... replicates every time with watch on. Took me awhile to figure out what was happening... Launched and calibrated from same spot for...

    Apple Watch cause interference?

    IDK just a thought... Maybe it was not the watch at all, but the band? Mine is a SS Milanese loop / maybe that caused my issues?

    Apple Watch cause interference?

    IDK... 3 tries with watch on = fail 1st try watch off = all good I don't Believe I have had my watch on calibrating the compass before. Watch was close to P3P as I was spinning it around? Hand to hand... Maybe? I used to just hold bird and spin myself, but I get dizzy easy... Lol

    Apple Watch cause interference?

I just did firmware upgrade - IMU calibration - went outside as usual to recalibrate the compass in the same spot as always - nothing around as noted at all. Calibration failed 3 times - UGH!!! WTF!!! Then I realized, I was wearing my...

    Crashed in a city

    Wow! Pretty harsh guys? The poor guy crashed his P3 - Yes it was obviously his fault for flying where he was but... Where is the compassion ? He was just asking for help understanding what happened. Sorry Aaron for your crash - live and learn - lucky no one was hurt - hope you can get it repaired.

    Catastrophic design flaw of Phantom 3

    Not as bad as I used to be when younger "OCD" LOL! Just that it can make any new person flying $1300+ a bit nervous about flushing it :-) I flew it with and without guards and didn't notice any major difference myself, but I am a fairly new pilot. And COM'ON.... Didn't you ever go back to...

    Have a version of these to support prop guards with 4 screw holes (not 2 hole version)?

    Catastrophic design flaw of Phantom 3

    Not really familiar with Bondic - I see it IS heat resistant - is it best used for just cracks, like welding or can it be applied as a filler like epoxy? I was hoping to find a heat resistant plastic epoxy and fill around all for motor mounts (along with my 4 screw prop guard mounts) to try and...
