Well, yes, actually.
What I do is IMU calibration at least at NORMAL temperature, not when the AC has just performed a long series of climbs or descends and everything including battery, motors and IMU are super hot.
So, I do a calibration at ambient temperature, the temperature the AC will be flying in a few minutes later.
When I am in a flat region, then I just take off and don't worry: once you are sure your AC is high enough to avoid obstacles, it's ok.
When I'm in a moutainous region though I power up the AC, take off, let it hover for a minute a few meters above the ground and land it again. At that moment the ZERO - AGL point will be reset by the AC under 'normal' working temperatures. And zero will still be zero when you land after a long flight, not the so-called '3 meters' or '10 meters' while your aircraft is cutting the grass already. |
