Pete, as you are in NZ, see if this applies to you: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=10317

Im going to wait until tomorrow before updating now, its pitch black out there, not the best time to have to go hunting for a crashed quad! I'll report back how mine turns out.
The no fly zones are for the ground station functionality only. They do not affect GPS or other modes of flight.

You should be staying still and rotating only the copter in your hands, around a fixed axis.
You're supposed to ROTATE around a fixed point, not revolve around it.
They are getting TBE because of magnetic declination not because of method of calibration. Compass dance works just as well as spinning it in place. From a magnetic perspective, it makes no difference.
Eos630 said:Thank you, and that music made me cry a little, but no one was asking what TBE was. Someone was just blaming the new firmware for not fixing it.
Yes, and the new firmware appears to NOT have fixed the compass declination issue which is why they get TBE in NZ.
