    Lost power and crashed

    I tried landing on a steel boat and my p3p went into manual mode due to strong magnetic interference, Then the wind was pushing it around and causing erratic flight. It also ended up fully submerged. I dried it out for 2 days using lots of canned air and all was good. You could use a hair...

    Terrified newbie

    My tab s works great, I have also used some other cheap tablets that worked perfectly fine that were not on the list. It is probably a setting on the tablet.

    RTH may not work with third party apps

    I use RTH all the time with Litchi, I do normally use the button on the controller tho and have not tried with lost signal. I won't be able to test it today but will by Saturday. Make sure you get more than 20 meters away from home point before you shut off controller or it will just land.

    why wont my compass calibrate?

    If you were using litchi to calibrate, it doesn't tell you to do the turns but the lights will flash. Just do the normal calibration dance and you will be good to go. I don't calibrate my self unless I travel more than 50 miles from my last calibration.
