"You can't always get what you want." I like that song since its so true about life. The repair wait is tough but at least its available and will probably get better..
Compass Calibration might reduce repair time to zero. In other words you might not crash and need repairs.
Hola rayrokni, Thanks for the info and could you explain what you mean by, "a lot of fly-aways and "p3 going crazy" is due to bad compass re calibration!!!
How do you do a bad compass calibration and not know it? Do you mean pilots fail to observe the warnings of a bad compass calibration or fail to do a preflight check? The DJI3 gives you several warnings if the calibration is done incorrectly or there is an error. Warnings: Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow; Dji Go will display compass error; Check your sensors and if the mod is low recalibrate. Also if your DJI3 drifts after takeoff something is wrong and might be time to shift to ATTI Mode and land.
From DJI3A User Manual:
If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration procedure, move your aircraft to a different location and try again.
Calibrate the compass before each flight. Launch the DJI Pilot app and follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the compass. DO NOT calibrate the compass near metal objects such as a metal bridge, cars, scaffolding.
When to Recalibrate
1.When compass data is abnormal and the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking green and yellow. 2.When flying in a new location or in a location that is different from the most recent flight. 3.When the mechanical or physical structure of the Phantom 3 Advanced has been changed. 4.When severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. Phantom 3 Advanced does not fly in straight line.
How to safely operate the aircraft when encountering compass error?
A compass error may occur when the aircraft is flying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g. power transmission lines). Aircraft Status Indicators blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error occurs and the DJI Pilot app will display one of the following messages:
• Compass error, calibration required
This warning message indicates the aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings. It is recommended
to power off the aircraft and re-calibrate the compass at a different location and then resume the flight. • Compass error, exit P-GPS Mode
This warning message indicates that the aircraft is drifting severely. Bring the aircraft to a higher altitude to gain enough GPS satellite locks when this warning message is prompted. The flight controller will automatically adjust the orientation of the aircraft in the midair to mitigate the drifts. The aircraft will switch back to P-GPS mode when the automatic adjustment is completed.
Thanks and have fun flying.
