Are flyaways flying away ?

Thanks for that, but I didn't come away with a definitive answer. Did you?


No, but this was the closest :

Are we getting off topic?
I stumbled into this on an RC forum:

I know very little about which receiver technology the Phantom uses, so with these links, you know at least as much as I know.

Someone posted about an uptick in solar activity the past week or so. Perhaps there's a link with above fly-aways.

Nope. If you were in higher latitudes and there was a K7 event taking place, maybe and only maybe could that have played a part.
 
ianwood, I would be grateful for more info on what levels of K index one can safely fly in.
I had assumed <4.

Thanks
 
It's complicated but generally below 7, the only thing likely to be effected is GPS signal quality due to effects on both satellite and the signal it puts out. The erosion of signal quality is gradual and limited. It may have a noticeable impact on absolute positioning (e.g. using GPS to navigate via a map). But it will be less obvious for relative positioning (e.g. Phantom GPS mode), as the atmospheric shift tends to be gradual.

If you live closer to the poles, lower K values may have more influence.
 
thanks.
