    Flying in wintertime

    What I read in forums for advice if you are in colder climate is to set it out on your back step for about 20 minutes to get it to the temp you will be flying in. Then have your RC and everything ready to go and bring it in and do an IMU. Have everything ready to go because there is a little...

    Well I got a small strong magnet and did a and went around each leg individually on my compass, took it outside and calibrated it.
