    By the way Meta4, some really great shots.

    The Dreaded Fly Away

    FAA registration number and mobile number on drone although I suspect either would be difficult to read if the drone is in the top of a 40m pine.

    The Dreaded Fly Away

    Yep. It smells of a bad connection/vibration problem.

    The Dreaded Fly Away

    Phone number on the drone but lots of tall pines in the neighborhood to catch it.

    The Dreaded Fly Away

    This is the one I hoped to never have to post. Two days ago I had a crash. Not too bad and no visible damage but the battery was knocked out. Packed up the drone (P3 4K) and waited until yesterday to test. No problems (compass, GPS etc...) were reported when I powered up. Lifted up and...

    litchi app duration until Course- and Home Lock is activated

    Yeah, I've experienced the same thing and gave up on either mode. Guess I didn't hold it down long enough. How long is a 'very long time'?

    Litchi

    The following comments are general but still relevant to the discussion. I'll try to keep it brief Effective visual display of quantitative information can be as much of an art as a science. In fact, effective quantitative displays are art - as can be seen by Minard's graphic depicting...

    Litchi

    I regularly fly waypoint missions out of range and haven't noticed this behavior. I'll check next time. Is your gimbal pitch set to Focus POI and not DISABLED on all of your waypoints? I do not think Focus POI defaults even though the POI setting defaults to the POI nearest to each waypoint.

    Interference from nearby metal objects

    The compass calibration thread is titled "Compass Calibration, A Complete Primer". Good stuff.
