Don't forget to calibrate controller...or else this could happen!

Yes, I'll definitely calibrate everything before my first flight too. I think once you know you have good calibrations you shouldn't be calibrating every time you fly or you risk messing up a previously good calibration. The exception to this seems to be the optical sensors where DJI's manual says they require occasional calibration. I'll probably do that every two or three flights

So let me get this straight. Before my first flight I have to calibrate the remote and the compass, anything else?

Probably not, I was just being overly cautious. But I also calibrated the IMU and the optical sensors.

This thing was last calibrated half way around the world on a Chinese assembly line, then boxed, banged around in a truck, a plane, another truck, another plane, then FedEx banged it around some more. You think maybe, just maybe, something got out of whack during all of this?? Really, just calibrate the darn thing and go fly already.
