1) how important is it to have the Phantom level when turning it on and letting it go through it’s boot up procedure prior to flight?
2) after it has fully booted up, if you picked it up and carried it over to a clear spot to lift off (which isn’t level) - how important is it it take off from an area that is level?

i ask this because on various other machines that i’ve flown, it was super important to boot up from a very level position as that is where the gyros/etc zeroed themselves out. but sometimes out in the field in an unconventional location, there isn’t any place that’s ideally level. on a few occasions, i noticed that the Phantom flew rather weirdly and was harder to land.
