If you get this unexpected IMU message, try recalibrating the compass.

With a P3P I use regularly, after a move across town for another photo shoot, the motors wouldn't start and I got the message "IMU Still Initializing" in a yellow box. Never saw that before. No errors reported in the Aircraft Status drop-down window on the left side, and the message didn't go away even after a long wait. Rebooted the aircraft, no change. And the controller, still got same message.

Grasping at straws in an effort to get on with my day, I recalibrated the compass and Bingo - problem solved. I thought I'd post this since it just might save someone else a big hassle.

It has happened to me too, the message came up ‘IMU still initialising’ resulting in the drone props not turning. In exasperation I recalibrated the compass, and it flew.
