Take off issue

[1874MPD]

Anyone can answer why or how to correct take off issue as I keep getting a CAN NOT TAKE OFF TOO MUCH COMPASS NOISE????

have you tried a new location and calibrating your compass
underground and overhead power lines, cable lines, pipes and even rebar to hold concrete together can throw your compass off

I calibrated the compass a few times but did not try a different location. I just read could be close power lines which they are close but have not had this issue before in this location. I will have to move further away and give it a try, I am new at this a lot to learn.
Thanks, epicdoom

Yep that's why the forum is here to help folks have successful flights. definitely try another location I found on my walkway if I set it in one spot I get a compass error if I move it a foot the compass is fine I know for sure there is rebar under my concrete because I poured the concrete lol Best of luck my friend

As mentioned above, electrical or steel structural inteference will play havoc with your compass settings. My advice to you would be that once you find a 'quiet' location, do the calibration once and leave it alone. The risk is doing a crap calibration and watching your drone either disappear in the distance or plough into the ground. I've only done one calibration in over twelve months despite flying hundreds of klms from home, and even when prompted (often near my steel framed house), I'll check my immediate surroundings.
