I would recommend launching the AC from something like a milk crate or box that will lift it off the pier a little. I've done this a few times with good results. Before I did this the Mavic wouldn't tell me to calibrate the compass, but when it got airborne it would fly erratically. Now, whenever I launch from something that has a lot of steel in it I use the box trick and then let it hover for a few seconds at a low height to see if it is flying stable before flying away. When I return home I land on the pier and it's worked great. Good Luck.
Tripp,
Good idea. IF I can't find something to launch off of, I have done a hand launch (I know, I know, not a good idea but in a pinch...) and will try it that way. Ken is right, get up and away quickly as I can BUT maybe should let it hover for a bit...just hover higher. |
