Inside the battery compartment.

As you said, I don't need to calibrate on every flight so I don't need to lug it to the flight field. I can use it on occasion in the field behind my house and I'm good to go for most anywhere I typically fly. Just a neat little device to build on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Agree, and yes it was mostly an opportunity to tinker a bit.

Yeah, kinda wondered about that.

Outside, in a nearby field.

GMack, I borrowed your idea, but decided to just use it for compass calibration. I have a very level shop floor I use for IMU calibration.

In my first and only crash, I grazed the side of the house. Got a little to cocky after a first day of successful flights and got a little too close to the house as I tried to maneuver around a corner. Props hit the brick wall and dropped about 12' into a plant bed. No real damage to the P4...

I tried a $30 quad very briefly and then went with a P4, which has been very easy to pick up on. Of course I have also been very conservative in my flights so far but I would think you would be fine with a Phantom.

Noticed two hairline cracks tonight. Are these repairable? If so, how.

Hope you don't mind, I converted to PDF

I've only had the P4 a couple of weeks so it applies to both.
