    When flying - what do you watch - camera view or map?

    Camera view 99% of the time just because it shows potential obstructions that you're not going to see on the map.

    IMU Calibration Question

    Just got a used P3A that was shipped from Florida to Michigan and I'm going to do IMU calibration. I know it needs to be done on a level surface, but does it matter what material the surface is?
