    How precise is your RTH?

    Only said 're calibrate. That was highlighted in red. Once done the mag inter warning ceased. Does it sometimes say move ? An earlier post said I should de magnetise...how is that done. I do suspect nearby large electric motors about 200m away.... likely ?

    How precise is your RTH?

    Flew m2z this am from home and as usual came up with "magnetic inter " and 're calibrate compass' which made it happy and move from opti to gps and fly well.

    I need some help. Scared to fly again.

    I always put samsung to flight mode to stop it linking / responding to other inputs. Two flights this weekend went well with no disconnects. I still think iPhone works better...as my friends use when flying my msz.

    Help with intermittent signal loss!

    Cracked landing gear

    That is a sad event. I have almost dropped mine a couple of times being smooth. The phantom was a lot easier to hang onto. If you change the arm where do the wires reconnect.... into motor?
