    Imu #1 error -50 on calibration

    How long should I wait? I fiddled with it over multiple attempts, so it should have been warmed up. I've calibrated quit a few times over the years, and this has never happened before. The drone has never been crashed or damaged. I had been planning to do a reinstall. Have done it several...

    Imu #1 error -50 on calibration

    Followed your instructions, slapping it 5 times like a newborn. Powered off, held it upright from top in my left hand and slapped it from below with my right hand. On first powerup, realized I still had gimbal lock on, so powered off and removed it. This time, I got the same -50 error. Tried...

    Imu #1 error -50 on calibration

    Finally got the weather to fly today after the winter. Everything charged. Removed gimbal lock and extended the props, all ready for flight. After power up and connection, updated the database.

    Deleting files

    Must I use Airdata or iTunes? Can I simply copy the files via Windows Explorer (file manager)?

    Mini New pilot 1st Video

    Now that comment served no constructive purpose. What is nice is that it was a successful flight and the pilot was willing to put it out for comment. Offer constructive suggestions for improvement. "You'll get better." hardly helps.

    Am I a wuss ?
