    Stranded Crash On Business Building (No permission to access property)

    Yes, most lawyers will give you a free consultation so no harm in doing so. Might want to see a couple of them just to be sure you get one who wants to really get it back and get this drama over with rather than dragging it out for years to drum up business.

    Stranded Crash On Business Building (No permission to access property)

    Well, if you really want to call them out... you can use some lawyer parlance and that the claimed amounts are "too excessive and too remote" to be considered and offer to have a roofing contract of your choosing evaluate the damage and produce their own estimate. If indeed this company only...

    Stranded Crash On Business Building (No permission to access property)

    I would get a fellow pilot to take a picture of the drone on the roof without flying over their property, if possible. With the undeniable evidence they cant say it is not there. Offer to compensate the company for the time to retrieve it. If there is no cost to them once manpower is taken...

    Stranded Crash On Business Building (No permission to access property)

    I would enter the establishment (assuming it has some kind of public entrance like a lobby) and ask for the building's engineering department. If the person up front ask why, briefly explain the situation that your aircraft "went out of range" and landed on their roof. Then when it comes to...

    Mid Air "Compass Error, Exit P-GPS Mode"

    If they are replacing a board level chip rather than swapping in a new board... that's pretty cheap.

    Mid Air "Compass Error, Exit P-GPS Mode"

    Mine is going back to Amazon... I looked at my first batch of flights on HealthyDrones and they were fine, then a few compass errors and now constantly reproducible. I'm thinking they had a batch bunch of boards or chips and the problem doesn't manifest itself right away.

    Mid Air "Compass Error, Exit P-GPS Mode"

    I'm hoping my "errors" are due to the 50Kw AM antenna farm about 1km down the road... haven't had time to take the Phantom out for a ride, but will do so tomorrow. If it still messes about... time for DJI to step in, or Amazon to swap out.

    Mid Air "Compass Error, Exit P-GPS Mode"

    Here is a CsvView from a test flight I did at a local soccer field (after calibrating).... I kept the P3A fixed in one spot, rotated CCW a few times and then repeated the same CW... during the CW rotation the compass error consistently hits. You can see where the Yaw and YawMag crossover (true...

    Nice pic indeed. Any description of what they did on a work order?
  14. Q

    Mid Air "Compass Error, Exit P-GPS Mode"

    Thanks for the great tools.. here is something from a flight (I am guessing pre-flight due to the negative timeline). It's almost like a coding bug or something where the values are rolling over incorrectly... And another flight (again wasn't looking for the compass error)...
