Yep, I'm guessing compass calibration error too. It's recommended that you don't calibrate the compass/IMU unless prompted to do so in the app or if you've traveled a far distance from where you normally fly. It was probably calibrated fine before you arrived, but once you got there you calibrated it near the reinforced concrete which caused a compass error and resulted in a bad calibration and erratic flight. To check this, before you launch make sure the arrow on the map is indicating the actual position the drone is pointed in (i.e. if it's pointed north it should show north on the map in the app), if it doesn't then you know the compass is whacky. In the future, only calibrate things if you are prompted to do by the app or if you're a couple hundred miles from where you normally fly.
I checked the sensor status for both IMU and compass before and after flight. Before i took off compass was red but IMU was green after calibration Compass became green. The app DID NOT ask me to calibrate even though it was red. |
