It means that magnetic north is west of true north.

Ok is this anything to be concerned about? Lol

Beaufort scale. Cat 4: 13 to 17 mph, or 5.5 to 7.9 m/s.AnselA said:What is "wind speed category 4", in m/s or mph? In specifications DJI is using m/s.

Landy said:Yip,I'm experiencing the exact same drift here in South Africa as described in the forum discussion. Got my Phantom 2 a couple of weeks ago and experienced the drifting from the start and as it was my first drone I thought it was "normal" but did think the fact that home lock let it fly from front left to the right but over my head despite my regular compass calibration procedures, a bit odd. I also started to experience a new problem in that even in a hover it has happened 4 times now that it all of a sudden starts swaying violently from left to right until it eventually just falls to the ground with no control through the transmitter, and it was in my attempt to research this issue that Jacky from Helipal directed me to this forum . Wonder if this could also relate to a compass problem.

Beaufort, OMG! Beaufort scale is antiques and by definition applicable only when observing sea...
P.S. forum admins, please move this wind speed discussion to a new thread.

It could be, also, do you have prop guards on? They tend to make this much worse.
That home lock is kind of a strange thing. I think it only works if you are over 10 meters away from your home point. If you reenter the 10 meter zone while in home lock it switches itself to course lock and stays there and is very disorientingLandy said:Yip,I'm experiencing the exact same drift here in South Africa as described in the forum discussion.
