Hi JJB, thanks for your reply. Yes, I've seen if I take off with limited satellites then I have a flight altitude limit (92ft) and as I'm flying it will update the HP mid flight resulting in a large HP difference between the actual and the estimated. I've learned that the hard way.
I'm in the process of stripping out the GPS coords at take off and at HP drift to try to see what's going on. Interestingly, the D value slowly increases as the MA2 hovers but is not duplicated in the GPS data. I'm flying with 13 satellites visible.
Flying away with low sats and reception is often in OPTI mode, height is than limited.
Not wise to do, if you loose visual reference that drone into ATTI mode!.
The moment reception gets to 4 bars and in general 7 or 8 sats > HP is set.
Not always a steady hover with low sats, so be carefull!
I never exprerience a drift of HP, once set is set and distance to HP is calculated oke all the time.
But curious what you will find out about this. If possible fly with a screen recorder active.
cheers
JJB |
