How often do you calibrate compass?

[Cmar143]

Just curious if people only re calibrate when MP app asks or if you manually do it?

Check out the Compass Calibration Guide for the best advice on this topic.

I've never calibrated mine, and it has never prompted me to.

After nearly 100 flawless flights in vastly different locations I never have. I only will if it asks me to.

Check the guide it is full of useful information.

Got mine a week ago and flew straight out of the box with no calibrations. Manual said it will tell you when it needs calibration.

Didn't do a CC until I started seeing occasional compass/gps warnings. It hadn't told me to do a CC yet, but the occasional warnings were enough to have me do it. Fast and easy. No more warnings.

I did it once when it was new out of the box, and not since.

Did it once when I first flew it out in an open field. If I turn it on at home or near my Lab equipment the controller prompts for calibration. I ignore it as that would be calibrating it around various magnetic fields. The proof is that every time I carry it outside in the open it's fine again.

Once.... and haven't done it again since

Calibrated two times, once before first flight and second after attaching a Loc8tor tag at the rear.
