OK thanks, this is resolved, thanks for all your suggestions. The bit about hitting ENTER before leaving the page is news to me, I'll try that next time! Yes, CL is supported in GPS mode. AND yes, the bit about NAZA mode...it makes sense now I understand that NAZA mode is not a P1 feature. The...

I've looked at the manuals, and at a couple of the videos, and at a bunch of the threads on IOC and CL on this forum. Here's my steps, what I expected to happen, and actual results: MY STEPS: power on the control unit, plug the battery into the drone and connect the drone to my laptop open DJI...

Looks like that fixed it. Maybe nothing was selected...don't know what it defaults to in that case. Regardless, I checked 'quadrotor x' per your suggestion and then took it on a 30 second flight. Smooth as silk. Thank you!

Yes, I absolutely did do the compass dance, and everything looked normal. Since my original mail above I've been back and forth over the calibration tasks, and tried to perform stick calibration several times. I'm still baffled by how stick calibration works. So now when I try to fly it...

Excellent. Thanks!

I'm interested in FPV flying in a tight mountain valley in central Washington State. GPS is easily available but we effectively have no southern horizon at all, so for example Iridium satellite access for phones is sketchy. No RC flying experience, and the area I will fly in is steep and...
