    Compass Error - What is it about?

    Well I'm thinking there must be different variations of compass error, because probly 50% of the time I get compass errors both in pre flight & during With no affect on flight or auto switching to atti mode, I have tried all solutions to correct the error from making sure you have no metal on...

    And don't forget if you decide to get certified commercial you are unable to fly recreationally. So that means filling a flight plan and submitting it to transport Canada 10 days before your flight date. Totally unrealistic The weather can turn to sh**** and no flight

    Exactly. There in lies the problem,how do you accomplish this without placing regs that are not warranted for the majority of flyers. Maybe the geofence option has to be taken out permanently and be "on" all the time. As for guys that build them I'm not sure if the components they use even...

    Exactly There Needs to be 2 classifications in the 250g to 35 kg size Say,250g to 5kg. 6kg to 35kg With stiffer regs for the 6-35 kg size. It should be quite obvious which ones are flying at 2800-8000 ft. But the dumb *** that crashed his drone inside the fence of the airport should have...

    Also. Putting certification and insurance regs on drones such as the phantom,mavic,and inspire rite at the point of sale( basically any drone capable of distance flights ) in the future might help to weed out some of the irresponsible flyers. Have it so You have to provide...
