I know, I have. Awaiting his "PROOF".Yup, it's clear that you won't get any more mileage out of that discussion. Time to pull the plug and move on.

I know. That's the proof lolThat's just it, you're not likely to see that.
That has nothing to do with this thread.So, BigAl, that was pretty impressive. You pop in here, drop the hammer, and vanish without a trace... well, almost...
Come on gang... let's not get personal about this. It's not THAT important one way or the other.
We're on the same side here and no need to turn on each other over this
If you were talking to someone and they thought they knew something and everyone else says something different and he is the only one to think the opposite and thought he was right. You would probably be like me. It's hard not too, I'm sorry.

Yes I did see it. I'm the one that asked him to.Oh, it did. You may not have seen it because that posting vanished shortly after BigAl posted it.

"HELP, LOST MY DRONE OFF A TRACTOR"
I've found myself in the same place in small yet safe clearings unable to get full GPS lock. Like you I simply take off, fly it safely up to the point to get GPS lock. Set the home point, and start flying. Never had an issue with this procedure. On the very few occasions that I've used return to home it has worked perfectly.When I was on vacation, I was flying my P4PO from a 3rd floor balcony. It starts out with bad compass but I take off anyways. I resave my home point once I am off the ground away from balcony which was the cost of compass interferences. I let it hover in place above 10m to see if its stable before I fly away. It cant hover in place if GPS has a bad compass. I’m happy to report that my drone survived my 3 month vacation in a pacific island. The only thing that did not make is the stock gimble protector. My drone is up todate with updates during my vacation including the updates for the ipad pro.
The P4P can hover in place without GPS below 10m. It uses the bottom sensors for that. That is why I hover above 10m to make sure I have a good GPS before flying away. Whenever I see the compass error, I always resave my homepoint after I do my hover test. My compass callibration is still factory set. I have not recallibrated my compass since I got my drone.I've found myself in the same place in small yet safe clearings unable to get full GPS lock.

Do you get a warning of magnetic interference when flying off of a car? If so will it let you take off?
First thing I checked when flying off from 3rd floor balcony where I had compass error is the RTH. It worked for me. I always resave my homepoint everytime i see compass error after a hover test above 10m. I’m only reporting my experience. Forgot to mention that from this launch area, I had occasional auto RTH because of lost signal. Never had a problem.I have not tried that simply because of the risk involved. If I even power up my Phantoms in my hatchback, I get compass warnings. I simply take them out, set them on the ground in a safe area, wait until the warnings disappear, and then fly. Just recently, there was a raging debate going on between a member and someone who insisted that it was perfectly safe launching from his tractor.
