Which is havering the compass on the leg not mounted so its facing exactly the right way. The front of your compass should be facing towards the inside of the left leg and so tthat its on the inside of the right leg that its on. So you need to turn it about 125 degrees from ware its at now. It also needs to be as straight up and down as you can get it to. Tho hard to tell from that pic if you can get it like that on your legs or not. IF not you will have to make or get some thing that you can mount it to that will allow it to face the right direction. Even if all you can do is use a short pc of dowel rod that hangs straight down from the bottom of the craft that you can put the compass on or use some thing L shaped so it sticks out the side some place and has a post that hangs straight down that you can put the compass on and turn it the right direction.
But you very well might also have some thing going on with the gps not being facing the right way to and when in gps mode the compass and the gps might be trying to fight each other if it thinks its moving one way but the compass is saying. No ******* north is that way to the gps. all the while both of them are not orientated the right way that the naza things they are supposed to be faceing and trying to move the craft.
I just took a peek at my gps unit being I happen to have my shell open right not. On the compass the flat orange and red ribbon cabal is facing exactly forward towards front side of my phantom. BUT as far as I know the compass is even more important that its facing the right way then even the gps being gps is not as good at knowing direction as much as it is at knowing its position on the map. esp if its not moving. But I would think that its still good to have it so its faceing the right way anyway just so you can know its not that causing any issues.
WOW. :shock: :geek: :idea:
