Meta4 It is almost completely the same. Only the drone isn't reading the error on a piece of paper, it senses its local magnetic field and uses it as a reference to adjust in flight

I agree with one of the posts before that calibrating compass before every flight is not best practice. The only time you should calibrate is when you are asked to by a message, and even then you must be very careful to do so outside any possible interference (metal, electronics etc). FWIW...

IMU calibration should only be done with the drone on a level surface or the ground and at rest. Otherwise you will induce errors into the gyroscope, possibly resulting in an incident.

Hey SuperPickle, I have never been able to go through with a shoot at a property I even own, as you say people feel uneasy when you ask for permission from all the owners. It is all about risk management, so (assuming you have an ReOC ) the operation being safe is the main priority. If I were...

I understand how important data privacy is to you all so will focus on writing code that encrypts, fakes or alters the data of your flight records in the database. In regards to saving data locally - this is a web based product so the back-end is obviously on the server. In saying this though I...

Thanks Ari, Before COVID hit the idea was to run a drone business on the Gold Coast - had some clients, ReOC etc but it has been difficult to get to and from Hong Kong due to the restrictions in quarantine here. I am interested in continuing this online logbook. At this stage local data is a...

Did not think so either, but the support so far has been surprising. Thank you everyone

Thanks dirkclod. Of course, the more the merrier otherwise I don't think it could ever progress past what it is now without input for improvements, functionality, bugs. This was an idea I've been wanting to put to the community for a year or so, being a business yes it may become a pay to use...

Hello everyone! Long time listener, first time caller. I have made a beta version of an electronic drone/remote (call it what you will) pilot logbook, similar to what conventional pilots use to keep track of their experience for regulatory purposes. I know there are many 'all-round' online...
