After a couple of months in hibernation, I finally flew my P3P yesterday. I launched from the top floor of a 3 story garage. Upon start up, right away I get the red GPS warning on the GO app. It went to the compass calibration page and suggested to calibrate. So I did, but it failed due to close by interference. I moved to the middle far away from any metal objects and was able to calibrate successfully. Just before starting the motors, it went red again and suggested to calibrate. I did the chicken dance several times but failed each time. I moved again to a spot where I get green GPS status with 18 satellites. So I took off about 5 ft and moved the AC left, right, up, down and everything was A ok. I went higher and no problems. When battery became low, I landed with no issues. I changed the battery and switched over to Litchi. Same thing happened, I get the red warning and suggested to calibrate. Again I moved to a spot where I get green Safe to Fly status and took off. I loaded my waypoint mission. After 12 minutes, another successful Litchi mission. Just sharing my experience that even though the app suggests to calibrate the compass, it is not necessary as long as you move away from the source of interference. I would suggest to test the AC in flight at low height before going higher.
