Seriously, how could the Phantom calibrate the compass in flight? Does it fly at a 90 degree angle while adjusting the compass data?
First, it yaws in a circle and then tilts down 90 degrees and tumbles end over end, just like you do to calibrate it...Seriously, how could the Phantom calibrate the compass in flight? Does it fly at a 90 degree angle while adjusting the compass data?

I could care less about the generic e-mail carrying the same contents. I'm extremely happy about the message that myself and others have received who were unable to recover their aircraft. It's clear there is an issue out there and that's why they're handling things this way.

Yes, as long as there is a new one on the way who cares. Hope there isnt a real issue.Me too! I was a little surprised that someone called this out. LOL - were we supposed to be offended that they didn't take the time to send us a more personal, unique response?
Hell - I would have cared if all the sent was:
"Here's a new one!"
I think it's good that they use the templates to standardize conmunications with customers - especially since there are likely language differences.
Take off with 23% battery? That's asking for trouble.

Just curious, did you takeoff from roof on your car? Is this safe? I think maybe compass and other sensors can be interrupted when takeoff from a cars roof.Did the start of your flight resemble this one of mine? I had a full battery though, and the bail out move was to gun it up, to avoid the trees as the only control I had was the throttle. My compass was hooped due my poor take off site (total dumb ***, not thinking that day). The classic toilet bowl circle yours made certainly points to compass issues.

The nose down part of the calibration is not for the compass. It's for the gyro.
What are you using to record sound during flight?

It's a p1 with go pro or something similar
