North isn't north. (Google "magnetic declination".)
What I meant is north on the telemetry is pointing north as it should. It flys great and comes home and lands where it lifted off on command. Not sure why everybody is doing the calibration dance so much.
If you wait until you have 6 blue sats the green lights will start flashing and it's go time. No need to calibrate every flight unless the light indicators are telling you to do so.
I agree, to an extent. I had a situation where all lights said "go" but I let her hover around 10 feet up and she was sliding all over the place. I took her down, did the compass cha cha and she was right back in sync. Before the dance it looked like she was in the midst of a low altitude death spiral.
I don't do the dance unless she misbehaves during her low altitude test routine.
